In July we tell about remarkable trees. Today you will learn about Tree of Hippocrates.
Tree of Hippocrates is a plane tree under which the father of medicine passed on his knowledge to his students. The one that grows in the square of its name on the island of Kos is a descendant of that same plane tree. It is about 500 years old. But the point is that cuttings and seeds of this plane tree were distributed around the world as gifts to medical universities. And now “Hippocrates plane trees” grow in dozens of places around the planet. I wonder if cloning ever reaches heights, will the same thing happen to Hippocrates himself?
