TIL that the Judean Date Palm was extinct until scientists germinated 2,000 year old seeds to bring the tree back into existence. The seeds were discovered in an ancient jar in Israel, dated between 155 BC to 64 AD.

This is my favorite TIL in a long time! Super interesting.
Is that the Judean Date Palm or the Date Palm of Judea?
Is it different then the species that took its place, I doubt it highly!
Hey Jude…an Date Palm
