If you could bury something and the next day there would be a tree that grew that thing, what would you bury? (Besides money) (hexbear.net)

You would need to bury an already magical item.

I was thinking more like: Does a tree that grows real-world precious metals need a real and extensive root system that gathers those precious metals from underground ore veins? Or can it make those real-world precious metals magically from scratch?

Id say not actually magic but functionally so. Lets say it magically grows whatever through some quantum connection with whatever star is making the light for it. Basically magic but there is technically a limit to how much material you can remove from the star.
