North Korea invents - trees!:
Pyongyang, December 11 (KCNA) --A new species of willow draws great interest of stockbreeding and environmental experts in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The cross-fertilized tree grows 4-4.5 meters more than other species of willow every year and its life span is 1-1.5 times longer than that of the latter. Its leaf contains some 30 percent of protein and other nutritive substances necessary for goat, cattle and other grass-eating animals.
"Yumm, salad!"
The tree grows well in damp places, so it is recommended to plant the tree near rivers and lakes and at the foot of mountains for the purpose of environmental protection. It has already been planted in Pyongyang, South Phyongan Province, South Hwanghae Province and other areas.
This is the weapons breakthrough I warned about. Fasten the super flat rocks to the willow branch with improved leather straps and you have a deadly stone axe!

#2  Steve and I have both predicted, after they invented the rock, that they would invent the stick next. First, of course, they had to discover the tree...
