You can live up to 6,000 years! What exactly is the tree that can bleed ?

Blood Exhaustion and Dracaenaen. This tree is native to Africa and is known as the "blood exhaustion and dracaena tree" by the local population because of the red liquid that oozes from the epidermis. The red liquid released by the dragon's blood tree is a precious medicinal raw material, which has the effects of invigorating blood and stopping bleeding.

This tree is the dragon's blood tree, also known as blood exhaustion and unicorn exhaustion. The Canary Islands in Africa is one of its origins, and it has the effect of stopping bleeding and replenishing blood in medicine, so some Chinese patent medicines such as bone-setting pills that invigorate blood and remove blood stasis have its ingredients.

There is a tree in Africa called "dragon's blood tree". The inside of the tree flows with a red liquid that looks like human blood. Locals believe that it is the blood of a dragon shed after a fight. Trees grow in the land of dragon's blood.

Life on Earth originated 4.6 billion years ago, and the earth's environment suitable for the survival of various life was not yet formed more than a billion years ago, and it is understood that in addition to bacteria that have survived the longest in the world, almost all corners of the earth, life has not been found to have survived on the earth for more than 1.5 billion years. Not to mention a tree! If the world's oldest tree is 1.5 billion years old, the oldest tree now lives for 8,000 years!

This tree grows in Africa and is a dragon's blood tree. Dracaena is a plant of the Agave family, and it grows very slowly, taking hundreds of years to grow into a tree and only blooming once in a hundred years, so it is very precious and rare. The tree is not about 10 meters tall, but the trunk is so thick that it takes five or six people to enclose it.

When the bark of the dracaena tree is cut, it will leak a liquid like human blood, so it is called the dracaena tree. In fact, this liquid is its resin, a valuable Chinese medicine.

The reason why it is called dragon's blood mainly comes from a legend. According to local legend, the blood-colored liquid that flows from the dragon's blood tree is dragon's blood, because the dragon's blood is spilled on the earth when the dragon fights with the elephant.

It wasn't until 1868 that the famous geographer Humboldt discovered this dragon's blood tree that had just been broken by a major storm when he was on an expedition to the island of Orta, Africa. Because it had broken its trunk in a storm, Humboldt was able to tell its exact age of 8,000 years by counting the rings at the break in its trunk. This is by far the oldest known tree in the world.

People always say that life is rare for 70 years, and when the age of a person is really insignificant compared to the age of a tree. In fact, many trees can live longer than humans, and they are deeply rooted in the earth and have a more tenacious vitality than humans
