Question
I'm a novelist conducting research for an upcoming book. I need to find a plant or tree that is native to both northern Russia and southern South America from which sap could be extracted that could act as a slow-burning but high temperature fuse. If such a tree does not exist, I would like to create a fictional tree with those properties. If anyone here can help, I would greatly appreciate any information you are willing to provide. Feel free to email me at Cap@CapDaniels.com if you would like.
Answer
Dear CapDaniels, good afternoon. You aren't likely to find species that occur in the regions you've specified--that isn't a likely native range scenario. There are others, such as eastern North America and western Asia, that are well-documented to have closely related species occurring in both regions. I think you are going to need to fabricate a species for this one. Good luck.
