Cyathea Success!!!

Currently the GPEPP Tissue Culture Team (check them out under "Departments") is caring and tending to successfully propagated Cyathea lunulata specimens. The Field Crew collected spores from one of the few remaining trees on the island and sent them to the Tissue Culture Laboratory for propagation. After meticulous work and what seemed like forever, the process has finally paid off! Shown below is a picture of one of the specimens showcasing its miniature sized fronds, nestling safely in an erlenmeyer flask! Enjoy!!
