Surprised by the species of plant that sucks gold into its leaves, appearing all over Vietnam

This plant has roots that penetrate deep into the ground and can suck tiny gold particles up to the leaves. This plant is abundant in Vietnam.

Eucalyptus trees, scientifically known as Eucalyptus marginata, are found in many parts of the world, including Vietnam. This is a world-famous tree that can absorb gold into its leaves. This information was published by the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in the journal Nature Communications in 2013. Photo: Iflscience.

Specifically, the CSIRO research team discovered trees with leaves containing gold in Australia. Previously, many people thought that the presence of gold in plant samples was due to surface pollution. However, in this study, experts noted that gold can follow the roots of the trees to the surface. Photo: wikipedia.

To reach this conclusion, the research team went to the Freddo Gold Prospect north of Kalgoorlie, Australia to survey large eucalyptus trees growing above a gold mine deep underground. As a result, they discovered that the leaves, branches and bark of the eucalyptus trees contained exceptionally high levels of the element gold (Au). Photo: wikipedia.

According to experts, eucalyptus trees are able to transport tiny gold particles deep underground thanks to their incredibly long and deep roots. Photo: wikipedia.

Eucalyptus roots can reach up to 40 metres into the ground in search of water in arid areas. In the process, the roots can collect other things, including the precious metal gold. Photo: friendsofqueensparkbushland.org.au.

In 2019, Marmota discovered gold in South Australia using a method of using trees to detect minerals underground. The company discovered a 6m-thick vein of gold, containing 3.4 grams of gold per tonne, located at a depth of about 44m. Photo: friendsofqueensparkbushland.org.au.

From here, some mining companies and even gold hunters "consult" eucalyptus trees to determine if there are any rare gold mines underneath. Photo: australianwoodwork.com.au.
