I just hope this thing isn't related in anyway to kudzu.

The tree, Albertus gorus, grows to about 6 feet with a thin, narrow form which suddenly spreads wider around 55 years of age, when the crown grows much fatter and the girth expands. The tree is confrontational and often found near moonbats and other odd creatures. It refuses to cede territory to it's rightful owner and will often try to annoy them out of their habitat. It even claims that it invented trees.

"Two million" years and ZERO changes. Just the latest proof that evolution is a false theory.

It's cool about the discovery and all, but I would be a little reluctant to plant a tree that grows over a 130 feet tall in a garden near my house. From what that 40 ft maple did to my sewer system a few years back, I can only imagine how strong the roots would be on one of theses trees!!

Why is it any less dangerous to spread this life-form throughout the globe than it is to spread GMOs throughout the globe? (And, where are the cries of the geemophobes?)

Just the latest proof a creationist will simply fabricate anything he feels like, to argue against evolution.

This story is almost identical to the discovery of Dawn Redwoods living in China during the 1940s.
