It is really unfortunate that you did not recruit more scientists for your work, or you would not have been so badly misled.. The photograph on the front of your book is of Old Tjikko, reputed to be a 9,000 year old spruce. Sadly, the research on which this conclusion was based is deeply flawed. Old Tjikko is a perfectly ordinary spruce of about 80 years. A number of scientists have examined the original papers on this tree and can find no evidence that it is ancient. It is really a shame that the cover of your book is based on such poor research. http://www.venerabletrees.org/how-old-is-old-tjikko/
