Water Gushes Out of a Mulberry Tree in Europe, Here's the Science Behind it

 The Dinoša mulberry tree, located in the village of Dinoša, Montenegro, continues to captivate social media users with its extraordinary ability to gush water from its trunk. This natural spectacle, which occurs once a year, has left many puzzled as to how such a phenomenon is possible. 

The mulberry trees in Montenegro have gained attention in recent years, as videos of them spewing water have surfaced multiple times. This annual occurrence takes place for a brief period, during which the tree's bark allows water to flow through it. The village of Dinosa, situated in the capital city of Podgorica, is home to these remarkable trees.


 To understand the scientific explanation behind this mysterious process, we must consider the presence of multiple water streams in the village, fostered by a spring. When heavy rainfall or snowmelt causes the spring to overflow, some of the water finds its way beneath the mulberry trees. The resulting pressure causes the water to rise from underneath the tree and into its hollows, providing a release for the overflow and relieving the pressure. While this phenomenon is rare and fleeting, similar occurrences have been observed in other trees, such as the peculiar sight of a tree appearing to bleed when cut.
