A researcher believes that the tree s contribute to the health of California's deep green redwood forests by sucking up their toxins.

Zane Moore, a researcher and University of California-Davis doctoral student, told the Mercury News that the trees appear to act as a liver or kidney, filtering toxins from the soil around them.

After analyzing the needles of the redwood leaves in a lab, Moore found they contain high levels of the toxic heavy metals nickel, copper and cadmium.

"They are basically poisoning themselves," said Moore.

They appear to be drawing away and storing pollution, some of it occurring naturally in the soils and some left from railroads, highways and other man-made sources that otherwise could degrade or kill redwoods .

There are roughly 400 such trees in the state, with Santa Cruz county having the highest concentration.

Moore's research will be included this week at the annual Coast Redwood Science Symposium in Eureka.

Additional research is needed, she said, to find answers to find out why there aren't more albino redwoods .

Dave Kuty, who works as a docent at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park in Felton, California, said the easiest way to see an albino redwood is to hike the park's loop trail near its headquarters and look for Marker 14, where an 8-foot-tall albino redwood is growing.
