it is the oldest seed to ever produce a viable young sapling.

Oh, I bet a few seeds get frozen in glaciers, or stuck in the earth somewhere and then suddenly turn up...

Still it's wonderful. Beautiful plants!

"Together with Hadassah Hospital’s Natural Medicine Center, she seeks to use the plants listed in ancient remedies to seek effective uses for modern medical conditions."

COOL! Can't wait for the studies!

"It is a long road to our being able to eat the Judean date once again"

Take cuttings, stick 'em in Root Tone and stuff the cuttings into perlite to root, then transplant 'em into dirt. She'll have more of the same tree. I hope he's not an envirowacko. I'm turely interested in seeing the Judaen date harvested once again.

I remember hearing about this when by chance they planted it. They didn't expect it to grow. I'm happy to hear it's doing well.
