All good stuff Mr Duck but "but grown from a cutting of the original" the original what? Does anybody seriously believe:

1. Joseph of Arimathea came to Glastonbury
2. With a stick
3. Planted said stick
3. Stick grew into tree
4. Tree lasted 2000(?) years

Sure all trees in the end are related all the way back to the beggining of life, as we are ourselves.
