"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"
