Back in 1971 Staurt Allen Roosa, a NASA astronaut, was choosen to carry out the mission on board of the Apollo 14. During this mission all the austronauts were given the opportunity to bring something from earth with them and Roosa decided to take 500 seeds from five diferent species of trees (Loblolly Pine, Sycamore, Sweetgum, Redwood and Douglas). Five years later these seeds were planted all over the United States of America and named “Moon Trees”.

In October 2011 a second generation of Loblolly Pine were planted at the ‘FOAM13 Pineta Park’ of the Astronomical Observatory in Tradate, Italy.
