The story is kinda interesting.
As I guess y'all know, the Species was considered extinct and was only known from fossils.
Then a Chinese biologist reported finding live ones, so in 1947 an expedition of various Western World biologists set out to try to find them.
There was a danish biologist...
I killed one of the oldest ones outside of central China.
Not my favourite job, but it had to go.
Fortunately there was another growing next to it, same age.
The color changes in the growth rings make me think, Castaneum sativa, so does the bark and the general look of the wood.
But it is damned hard to identify a tree where there are no leaves or buds to look at.
