So I'm the only one having a *really* hard time believing this?
As far as I know, even trees need sustenance, and without photosynthesis they do not have any source for this sustenance? Unless the roots somehow mutated to be able to suck nutrients directly out of the capillaries?
And the article clearly mentions a branch that was removed, no mention of a stem, roots, anything.
To top it off, it happened nice and far away, so it doesn't need to stand up to scrutiny too badly.

Those seeds are made to withstand the little trip you're offering them, I wouldn't worry too much.

Hmm,
Should have waited 2 minutes longer before making my post:

There's no more reason to believe this link over the one of Mosnews, however, I find this one at least alot more plausible.
