Amazon donated space in the greenhouse to the university of washington's botany program during renovation of their life sciences building in 2016. [11] among the 40 to 50 trees in the spheres, [12] the largest is a 55 foot (17 m) ficus rubiginosa tree, nicknamed "rubi", which was lifted into the spheres by a crane in june 2017. [13]. Ben and the team assembled the living walls, first by growing plants on three foot long panels at the greenhouse. when the panels were ready, they were transported and attached to the growing surface at the spheres. with this careful preparation, the team assembled the spheres’ tallest living wall, which stands at 60 feet, in only two weeks.
