Anyone heard of Soviet 'Moon Trees'? They were sent to the moon, kind of...

Not to be confused with actual trees growing on the moon, but during the Apollo missions, the U.S. sent a batch of tree seeds into space. They were part of a joint US-Soviet project called the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, and these seeds were taken around the moon and then returned to Earth, where they were planted across the U.S. as symbols of peace and collaboration. These "Moon Trees" are still growing today! Kind of cool to think a tree down the road might have been to the moon (well, around it). Anyone ever visited one of these?
 
This is the first time I've heard about it. I'm actually envious of the seeds, haha. 🫘 I wish I could see the moon, too. 🌕
