sound effects on plants

[Robert D. Grob]

I don't remember the details but it seems to me I remember a study that was
done on mimosa trees regarding the effects of different types of music.  If
I am right, the study came out some 20 or 30 years ago.  Classical music,
if I remember right, was much more conducive to growth than hard rock.  I
think the mimosa tree was used because it was believed to be especially
sensitive to sounds.
