Extinct tree from the time of Jesus rises from the dead in Israel (palm, trees)

[Tiger500]

Forests of Judean date palm trees once covered ancient Israel, from Lake Galilee to the Dead Sea.

The fruit of the tree symbolised life and prosperity and was praised in ancient literature for its unique medicinal properties. But the dates of Judea were made extinct by the Middle Ages.

Now a team of scientists has succeeded in resurrecting the ancient tree.

I think that's wonderful news. Thanks for posting that, and kudos to those two ladies for their dedication and success in bringing back the Judaean Date.
