I read this story the other day, and I found it interesting. I happen to know this kid (to me he's a kid, as most people are anymore), and I can tell you he's pretty bright about this stuff.

He created a product called Adzum which is a type of fertilizer or something that makes trees grow like twice as fast. His family has had a nursery for a long time, and he just started doing research and figured it out. Wish I knew this kid a little better, he's gonna be very wealthy someday. Nice kid too.

Toto, I agree that this kid has a bright future ahead. I hope he remains one of our positive 'points of light' for the next several decades.
