One particular Huon Pine occurrence which recently received international attention is the small (1ha) forest patch high on the slopes of Mt Read, near Rosebery. Here, in the wettest part of Tasmania, at an altitude of 1000m (the highest known for Huon Pine), beside the small glacial Lake Johnston, are several hundred trees which share an extraordinary legacy. All are male and all are genetically identical, forming a clone. No variation in DNA could be found between the trees. Even more astounding was the discovery that Huon Pine pollen was present in the bottom sediments of Lake Johnston, carbon-dated at 10,500 years. There are no other Huon Pines within 20 km of Mt Read, and no female trees anywhere in the area.Go to the link below for fool artical. It's pretty cool.
