Last week, Hutchinson’s “moon tree” finally took its place on 11th Avenue. The seeds traveled to the Moon, became trees growing across the U.S., and descendants are still planted today in all corners of the earth. Locally, Hutchinson’s young tree waited patiently in Carla Stanfield’s office at the Cosmosphere — the coronavirus pandemic pushed back plans to plant the tree during the Apollo mission anniversary events this spring. “Alright, little moon tree,” the public relations coordinator laughed as she patted soil around the root ball. “You get to be a real tree now.”
