Ever seen someone shove a hot metal rod into a perfectly healthy tree sounds intense right but there's a fascinating reason behind it this isn't just any tree it's an Aquilaria tree and what they're doing is called tree inoculation first they create small openings in the tree's trunk with a hot rod or a drill then they introduce a specific fungus into these openings the tree defends itself by producing a dark resin which over time transforms the inner wood into agarwood a rare and precious material agarwood is so valuable it's practically worth its weight in gold and is a key ingredient in luxury perfumes and traditional medicine
