I've heard of gold leaf, but that's fricking cool. :)

I wonder what happens to the gold in the leaves when the tree burns in a fire? Is it heavy enough to drop below the tree, or does it get blown around with the ash?

Yeah I know it's not about gold in trees, but thought it was interesting like this thread's article is.
