Extinct tree from the time of Jesus rises from the dead in Israel - BBC REEL

As a horticulturalist are you not in shock hearing some of these stories due to how crude they are handled? They have these priceless samples and they are just handed out to some woman. Who could have very well ruined all the seeds and made then nonviable. Doesn't have a lab or utilize any of the many scientific tools/procedures to increase viability of the seeds. There are plant hormones that the seeds can be soaked into a solution of. The seed coat can be removed. There are chemical soaks that can be used like succinic acid+GABA. I believe I read somewhere hyperbaric pressure chambers helped too. Near infrared light stimulation and so on and so on. She just threw them in a bottle warmer and whatever happens happens. Instead of giving every possible chance to bring to life such priceless specimens. Are you not upset with such things handled in such a frivolous way? Because as a layman hobbyist I am. These samples should have never been handed out to this woman they should have been at an agricultural/bio lab at a state university in Israel. They got lucky the samples were not all wasted.

Scientists actually already know this. That is why they built the seed sanctuary in case our civilization ever goes down.

@@GamerToons It's not just a hedge against civilizational collapse, it's to keep varieties safe from extinction caused by anything as extreme as crop pestilence (which we've seen wipe out things like certain banana varieties), to things as minor as extinction caused by farmers just stopping growing certain varieties in favor of other varieties (which we've seen with varieties of maize, wheat, and potato). Ironically, even though farmers choosing not to grow certain varieties of crops leading those varieties to become extinct is a minor cause compared to pestilence or civilizational collapse, it alone has caused way, way more varieties of fruits, vegetables, and grains to disappear than any other cause.
