 Tracing the history of UF's moon tree | Gainesville.com | The Gainesville Sun | Gainesville, Fla.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)

He's heard of at least one attempted theft of a moon tree; the crime failed because the stolen specimen was a standard tree that had replaced a moon tree that died.
