The purple brussel sprouts we are growing on our veg plot seem to be doing fine despite the cabbage white butterflies best efforts. So I think we're okay for now

Its a bold statistic, but I wonder how many species became extinct before this data was even collated? And also how many species or hybrid varieties came about?

Hybrid sprouts, now there's a scary thought

I think the extinction should start with nettles. Plus some cross-breeding so that brambles lose their thorns. I mean, the number of times you get stung and scratched when black-berrying!
