Brook asked,
I am on the horns of a dilemma. This inquiring mind is dying to
know:
do you use or prefer the term, "horticulturalist" or "horticulturist"?
As an editor and lexicographer, I would prefer "horticulturist." It's
always best to form a neologism from the simplest base word.

The Collins English Dictionary agrees with you Jane
