Jess, And how tall is the tallest J. communis var. communis of which you are aware? Where is it growing?
That 2000 year old juniper has been mentioned also by Jalas (1958) in Finnish. Though, I am little bit suspicious about that, too. I will search if I am able to find more about it. An addition to the language issue: My brother - a scientist in a finnish university - said to me that more than half of scientific papers in his department are published only in Finnish. And Finland is a highly developed country. The proportion is supposedly much lower in countries like Russia or China. - Kouta -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected]
