Moon Trees

I've never heard of moon trees before. But thinking about them sort of appeals to me. Afterall what could a moon tree be? My mind conjures up unearthly images, weird surreal things, foreign to my existance and experiences. It's like visualizing oxymorons, looking for unlikely combinations and obvious contradictions, studying the absurd. No wonder I like science fiction and abstractions so well. Alas! The truth is rarely as compelling. Moon trees are the results of seeds that traveled to the moon on Apollo 14. You can read about them
here and here.
