Description: The Indianapolis Moon Tree, located in White River State Park, Indiana, is one of the famous trees grown from seeds that orbited the moon aboard the Apollo 14 mission in 1971. These seeds, primarily from loblolly pines, sycamores, redwoods, and Douglas firs, were part of an experiment to see how space travel might affect seed germination and growth. Planted in the early 1970s, the Moon Tree in Indianapolis stands as a living piece of space history, symbolizing the connection between Earth and space exploration. It is a unique and celebrated feature of the park, drawing visitors interested in both botany and space history.
