Long after the human race has joined the dinosaurs, and new races of
gardeners have appeared, this will still be a FAQ. Horsetail has
been around for approximately 3 times as long as the mammals and is
showing no signs of going away.

No, but it's getting smaller all the time. In a few hundred million
years it might be so small that it'll be used to underplant bonsai...
