It may not be immediately obvious why this little tree is so amazing, but it is. It’s a two-year old Gaïac that is already in bloom and is quite large for a young seedling of such a slow-growing species. Since it was grown at the waste-water treatment plant near Fresh Pond by Mr. Speetjens, we also have a good opportunity to record the conditions it was grown under and potentially replicate those conditions to speed up our efforts to restore these endangered trees.
