The reading claims that, in 1950s Torreya taxifoha, a type of evergreen tree once very common in the state of Florida , started to die, and it provides three ways to address the decline of Torreya. Conversely the professor casts doubts on what has mentioned in the reading, and he refutes each claim in the reading.

First, the reading states that, reestablish Torreya in the same location in which it thrived for thousand of years. it used to be in N Florida , and it has a speciefic microclimate. But the professor dosn't agree , and he says that, that is unlikely to be successful solution because the area affects by change of the climate in the region. The global warming increases temperature in Florida, so the wetlands will dry , and many areas will be dried. In addition, Torreya cannot live any where without their origion place.

Second, the reading argues that, second option is to move Torreya to a different location such as in forests further north. Yet, the professor doesn't agree , and he says that, Black trees were moved to a new environment in the North. The result was that, the spreading of Black trees lead to kill other trees in the environment, and the trees become in danger of being extinct.

Third option is to preserve Torreya in research centers. However the professor doesn't agree, and he says that, research centers are probably not a solution either. Torreya in such center will not protect from disease , and in order to survive disease it needs to be large and generation diverse. Research center doesn't have the capacity to keep large trees and diverst population. Moreover Torreya will not capable to survive diseases for long time.
