As it turned out, Little wrote his dissertation on the 31 species of the genus cupressus — the cypress tree.

Scientists used selected genotypes of one variety of Mediterranean cypress, Cupressus sempervirens var. horizontalis, which is resistant to bark canker disease.

"Our study has led to the introduction of Cupressus sempervirens var. horizontalis into a special list of tree species eligible for interventions against forest fires in a Regional Law of Tuscany," he explains.

Murtaja remembers how nine years ago his father grew Cupressus trees, but today, Christmas trees are mostly plastic and imported from China and Israel.
