The Mysterious Blue Bloodwood Tree

Did you know there’s a tree on Earth that bleeds blue blood like an alien? In the rainforests

of New Caledonia grows a rare plant called the Bloodwood Tree. When its bark is

cut, it releases a bright blue-green liquid that looks exactly like blood from

another planet. Scientists discovered that this strange “blue blood” is filled with nickel,

a heavy metal. And here’s the crazy part— This tree absorbs 100 times more metal

than a normal plant. This rare ability is called hyperaccumulation. It’s like a natural mining machine,

pulling metal from deep underground and storing it inside its sap, leaves,

and branches. Why does it do this? No one truly knows. Maybe it’s a defense system…
