Judean date palm human-assisted germination of a seed (the claim in 2012 of a 32,000-year-old arctic flower involved fruit tissue rather than a seed). The palm, named Methuselah (not to be confused with a bristlecone pine tree of the same name), was about tall in June 2008. , it is reported at high, having been transplanted from pot to earth.
