As a child during the German siege of Leningrad, Gregory Levin saved his mother from dying of scurvy by boiling up pine needles. As a young botanist, he foraged beneath many trees of knowledge before committing his life to studying the pomegranate, the ruby globe whose beauty tempted Persephone, and as Levin believes, Adam and Eve.
