As a horticulturalist are you not in shock hearing some of these stories due to how crude they are handled? They have these priceless samples and they are just handed out to some woman. Who could have very well ruined all the seeds and made then nonviable. Doesn't have a lab or utilize any of the many scientific tools/procedures to increase viability of the seeds. There are plant hormones that the seeds can be soaked into a solution of. The seed coat can be removed. There are chemical soaks that can be used like succinic acid+GABA. I believe I read somewhere hyperbaric pressure chambers helped too. Near infrared light stimulation and so on and so on. She just threw them in a bottle warmer and whatever happens happens. Instead of giving every possible chance to bring to life such priceless specimens. Are you not upset with such things handled in such a frivolous way? Because as a layman hobbyist I am. These samples should have never been handed out to this woman they should have been at an agricultural/bio lab at a state university in Israel. They got lucky the samples were not all wasted.

If the bringing back of this tree from the dead wasn’t incredible enough, the fact that the first seeds used (for Methusela) came from Masada itself, from that famous event in history, just blows my mind completely!!!

A very nice story. I appreciate their work personally. I'm not a horticulture expert by any means but I saved an heirloom pear tree from a friend's farm that had been downed by a storm. The tree was strong enough to bear fruit one last time laying in the yard cut off from it's roots. We saved over a hundred seeds and wintered them in the freezer. The next spring I planted them inside and I had over 60 seedlings growing in my living room in a large bay window. At his farm now there are 12 survivors that are 10 years old. It felt good to have done that, so I can only imagine how these ladies feel. Good work!

For the last century or so, a lot of horticultural work has been done to make commercial crop plants non-propagating. That way, the farmers have to go back to the seed-sellers every year (or tree-commercial-lifetime in this case) to buy more seed. Which means bigger sales and profits for the seed companies. The laws of business apply. What I want to know is - is there any evidence that there half-dozen-odd cultivars of date were noticeably different from modern crop breeds (can people tell, in blind trials) and what the evidence is for whether the strains actually went extinct. Or whether they're indistinguishable from the last few generations of commercial dates palms. You would expect farmers to have a good reason to plant *this* cultivar of dates, not *that* one (when they need to plant new trees), so presumably the cultivars in use in (say) 1950 were better (bigger crops, more reliable harvests, sweeter taste, whatever) than whichever cultivars hadn't been propagated for the last thousand years. Which reminds me - time to water the windowsill plants!

Unfortunately it doesn't have a nice shape because it wasn't grown from seed, but from a stick, meaning it's a clone of some adult tree in I think England. I haven't seen the wollemi in a couple of months though, and I hope it's still fine... I discovered the tree when I was 10 or 11 and ever since then I wanted to see one in real life, and they're really cool! They might look like a pine tree or something from a distance, but if you go closer and learn a bit about them, you'll see that they have unique leaves, and just lots of remarkable features. Also, they rise in value when they get bigger (as long as you can still move them I suppose). Really glad to see this species mentioned!

This is an amazing story - so thrilled that these two ladies had the tenacity to bring back the Judean date tree - well done!! I was at Masada last August! What an amazing place!

I'm glad we have older people in the world to teach us the meaning of true value. Finally a humanity with the longevity and mentality to develop wisdom. We are born smart after all, but we achieve wisdom slowly over time and through much hardship and failure. Always remember that to fail means you are testing yourself with difficult things. If your life were to be easy, I am afraid you would miss so much suffering and all that that teaches you. I believe we need to look old when we are. We bear the scar and wrinkles of a painful life that grudgingly gave us success. It's the best things in life that cost so much from our own selves, our fear and sacrifice and heartache. Sadness and loneliness are great teachers. If you haven't experienced great loss and sadness, then you should seek out something or someone that challenges you beyond your hope to meet that challenge.

I've seen similar inspired individuals resurrect ancient seeds - in Japan, an extinct variety of water lily was grown from a single seed found in an ancient tomb. In the US Southwest, indigenous watermelons have been revived from hidden desert caches, that were stored before the conquest -botanists can be very optimistic and hopeful people, and whenever possible, I love to see them allowed access to these ancient, sometimes extinct plants, to bring more biodiversity back to our world. Brava!

You do realize that the trees in this video never went extinct, right? That the Roman's spread their range to Spain and North Africa and that the date palms traveled the silk road/spice trade routes to India. The Romans taxed the date palm plantations in the area that this video talks about, they didn't destroy them. In fact the palms grew there until a few hundred years ago. If this video is to believed, then I can declare that corn is now extinct because it is not growing on my property despite this land having been a farm in the past. Also, are you confusing Water lotus seeds from China with water lilies from japan? And how did Amerindians have an African plant's seeds?
