Delta State University Moon Tree
Cleveland, Mississippi
An article in the March 14, 1976 Mississippi Clarion-Ledger entitled
"Seeds Went to Moon, Tree to DSU Campus" discusses and shows a picture
of a sycamore seedling Moon Tree acquired by Delta State University
from the Institute of Forest Genetics at Gulfport, Mississippi.
The article says the seedling "will soon be planted", and quotes
DSU professor of biology Dr. Mabel Raspet that "Delta State's "moon tree"
will be planted somewhere on the DSU campus."
No further information has been found on the tree, its planting date,
location, history, and current status are unknown.
