Maybe the Spruce is pining for the fjords.

tree in my back yard keeps telling me: “I AM GROOT!”
Trees frequently commune with Keebler Elves.
Is it the trees moving what makes the wind blow?
Yes but due to their longevity we will have to wait decades for their votes to arrive ...
One of the oldest living things on earth.If you think about it, a perfect predator, no need to chase just waits them out then it absorbs their material. CREEPY.
Trees do communicate.
They say, “Gimme a hug.”
Thats why we have tree huggers.
Too much anthropomorphism here. There is obviously communication between plants. Plants react to their environment. No doubt about it. They do this without a brain or central nervous system.
If you want to call this intelligence, do so, but your concept of intelligence is overly broad.
Since all life, except those weird tubes at the bottom of the ocean that live by consuming hydrocarbons venting from the earth’s sub-oceanic crust, survives by consuming other life then for moral consistency vegetarians should give up eating altogether and die. Their “precious bodily fluids” (”Think of it Mandrake, little children’s ice cream!”) would be returned in partial payment for the millions of calories they’ve stolen from innocent plants and vegetables.
I weep for our futures.
The Forest People have a mixed reputation. The Clay People believe them to be strange but honest people. Queen Azura, however, knows them as the most savage nation on Mars, and that those who enter the Forest Kingdom never return.

Then this is all settled science!
Looks to be a fun read.
Ode to a Dead Tree
By Gary North
I think that I shall never see A sight as lovely as a tree: A tree cut down for pulp and boards, Cut down for profit and rewards.
Whenever forests disappear To fill a bookstore front to rear, The angels sing a glorious song, Especially if the books are long.
When trees grow high above the earth I love to estimate their worth. I praise the chainsaw and the axe, Converting trees to paperbacks.
I love to contemplate bare hills, Solutions to society’s ills. For every tree dragged out by hooks May soon become a shelf of books.
When men cry “Timber!” I rejoice, A perfect use for human voice. The sound of buzz saws is symphonic As long as books remain dendronic.
I think of trees throughout the ages Especially as I’m turning pages: Majestic trees in ageless mists Transformed into best-sellers’ lists.
Down my spine I get the shivers: Giant forests into slivers! Forests growing through long winters; Spring will see them all in splinters.
The thought of trees cut down for wood, Serving man as nature should, Literate mankind now confesses: “Cut the trees and start the presses!”
NICE!!!
Very nice.
The Forest People are trees, and they are not so nice.
The Forest People have a mixed reputation. The Clay People believe them to be strange but honest people. Queen Azura, however, knows them as the most savage nation on Mars, and that those who enter the Forest Kingdom never return. Azura’s opinion may be tainted since the Forest People were immune from her magic power, owing to their possession of the sacred black sapphire. Prince Barin of Mongo believed he could befriend the Forest People, but was proven wrong when they took him prisoner.
That statement can be read in many ways?
...more than four hours, call your doctor immediately ...
Or a tree surgeon?
