Right. However, there is a person who does grow them for just this
purpose. I don't his name, but I believe he sells them wholesale
and is the only (or one a the few) suppliers of cut pitchers. Whether
they came from him is another story, but I think the professionals
know were to go for them: from a legit grower with connections,
not the the wild.
