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. By May 2015, the palm was tall and was producing pollen. Even if the pollination of a female Judean date palm, grown of a seed from the same batch, with Methuselah's pollen should succeed, the resulting fruit would not represent the recreation of
Wildlife of Bermuda resistant trees has taken place since then, but the area covered by cedar is only 10% of what it used to be. Another important component of the original forest was Bermuda palmetto ("Sabal bermudana"), a small palm tree. It now grows in a few small patches, notably at Paget Marsh. Other trees and shrubs include Bermuda olivewood ("Cassine laneana") and Bermuda snowberry ("Chiococca alba"). The climate allows for the growth of other palms such as royal palm ("Roystonea" spp.) and coconut palm ("Cocos nucifera"), although the lack of very warm temperatures does not usually allow coconuts to fruit properly.
