"In the 1980s, researchers excavating a cave in the #JudeanDesert uncovered a seed that was subsequently dated to sometime between 993 and 1202 AD... the research team planted and tended to it. A little while later, it sprouted. Now, 14 years later, the tree has grown to maturity... the tree represents an #extinct lineage, one that once populated the region"
Medicinal tree successfully grown from 1,000-year-old seed found in cave
An international team of botanists, agriculturists and historians has successfully grown a mature tree from an ancient seed found in a cave in Israel. In their paper, published in the journal Communications Biology, the group describes where the seed was found, the work that was done to discover its origins and what they have learned about its history as it has sprouted and grown into a mature tree.
