My English teacher would have given this an A plus...for all those ridiculous descriptive words they lust after.

Very cool. They classify them as redwoods I think, from the links from a site. I wonder if anyone has looked at them for commercial viability . . . if they grow fast or have attractive wood they could make a huge comeback with the logging companies planting them. Looks like they would be easy to log and strip.

I read somewhere that a grove of ancient “dinosaur” trees were discovered in an obscure niche in Australia. The seeds, I heard, were going for about $80 each.

Anyone remember this?

I’ve got 2 of these in my back yard (bought at a nursery). Haven’t done any DNA testing on them. Handsome trees, grow pretty fast.

Only China has more.

Good. Let them do the research.

And a disclaimer for Bill O'Reilly: Just because I posted a picture of a KKK recruiter does not in any way mean I support the racist, supremacist ideology of the Klan or the Democrats that keep this living fossil in Congress.

My first thought was this is an article about congress or the senate.
