America will recreate giant giant trees

Last week, US environmentalists climbed a 2,000-year-old cypress, as tall as a nine-story building, called the Lady of Freedom in central Florida.

After taking some branches, the researchers marinated them in ice and transported the night away to the old Tree Arboretum and Architect - a non-profit organization in Northern Michigan. The organization is aiming to create new forests from hundreds of asexual plants to promote cross-pollination , thereby contributing to combating global warming.

Not only that, the researchers also hope they will plant seedlings from the branches of the giant cypress tree to breed it and plant it in Florida. "If you ask anyone of us why this is done, the answer is: for our children and grandchildren," said David Milarch, co-founder of the Archangel organization.

David said that 98% of old American forests or natural forests, at least 120 years old, have been destroyed.

Another giant tree like the Lady Liberty (Lady Liberty) - was named Senator (The Senator) , was 3,500 years old and tens of meters tall, but was burned by a deforestation in 2012. The Archangel organization later cut a piece from the remains of the Senator to replant this tree. Seedlings are seeded from the Lady Liberty cypress tree that will be planted north of the Senator "child" near Orlando.

Since 2012, the Archangel organization has grown in the city of Port Orford (Oregon), many seedlings were collected from giant trees selected in the states of Oregon and California.

Archangel also provided many seedlings to recreate a redwood forest in Cornwall, England. In Ireland, the organization bred young plants from an old oak tree, David Milarch said.
