never would have happened without Israel.

I wonder if it's only one palm or did they find more than one seed ?
And how long will it take before the plant reaches maturity and produces seeds in it's own ?

[AntiGuv]

I wonder how it became extinct in the Middle Ages. It annoys me when an article gives intriguing info like that without bothering to explain it!

Very interesting though.

Will someone please let us all know how a seed can "live" that long? I did read of an underwater archaeological site, where an amphora was brought up with some weed seeds inside, which DID germinate. I didn't believe it at the time, but maybe it was true.
