OT: Horticulturalist/Horticulturist

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.
