A new thing to collect?

Yesterday I stumbled upon a site which sales trees. Famous trees. Famous trees you say, confused, perplexed as to what we speak. Yes famous trees. Well in fact there are many famous trees.

But what we speak of here are famous trees you can buy.

Examples:

MOON TREE
How about a tree that is a descendant of a tree which has been to the moon, or at least seeds of that tree? In 1971, Astronaut Stuart Roosa, a former smoke jumper, wanted to fly something in honor of the U.S. Forest Service, and brought along seeds that were then planted at colleges and universities across the nation. Its a Sycamore.

JOHNNY APPLESEED TREE
How about owning an actual apple tree that Johnny apple seed planted. Pretty awesome eh? Hurry supplies limited.

And there are a host of other trees you can purchase too. However, I believe the best way to go is travel to these famous places and find your own trees. That would be a much more impressive collection.

And for those who like dead things... how about furniture from a famous tree? If you're rich go for it...
