Meade म्हणाले...: I once planted lungwort under a Hemlock tree.

Peter V. Bella म्हणाले...: "Surgeon Vladimir Kamashev said he was astonished, but botanist Olga Baranova was sceptical."

Man there are skeptics everywhere. I thought they were banned in Russia. Or is it here? I am not sure anymore.; १५/४/०९, ८:४३ PM
Curtiss म्हणाले...: He was sportin' wood.; १५/४/०९, ८:४४ PM
Peter Hoh म्हणाले...: Color me skeptical, too. I don't know how the needles would turn green in the absence of sunlight.

Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...: Had that tree been cut in NY and not replaced they would be in violation of the New York State Environmental Protection laws.

Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...: To cut a tree in NY you have to have permits, to get permits you need a hearing.. to get a hearing you have to submitt an environmental impact study, the impact study needs a design to calculate what will the impacting who and so on..

We had to act your honor.; १५/४/०९, ९:२० PM
AST म्हणाले...: I loved the link beneath the story to a different video, I hope, "Celebration of Transplant Success." Trust Russian doctors to blunder in and mess it all up!
