There's increasing evidence to show that trees are able to communicate with each other. More than that, trees can learn.
The main reason humans cannot perceive how clever and complex they are is because we exist in such short time scales by comparison. There's a tree in Sweden for instance, a spruce, that is more than 9,500 years old. That's 115 times longer than the average human lifespan.

That, and they threw apples at the unfortunate young lady!
Yes! IMO, trees have gotten a free pass for too darned long! Everyone thinks of them as these passive stationary organisms. They are not!!
They say it is better to sell the sizzle, than the steak ( stake?).
Celebrate Diversity now has evolved to Celebrate Mental Illness.
Yes, your neighbor, could be the root of all evil!!!
Would using a wooden pencil be a start in that direction?
What did he think happened in the forest primeval? Animals just decomposed wherever they fell and the rains spread the nutrients around.
These fungi operate like fibre-optic internet cables. Their thin filaments penetrate the earth, weaving through it in almost unbelievable density. One teaspoon of forest soil contains many miles of these tendrils.
Over centuries, if left undisturbed, a single fungus can cover many square miles and create a network throughout an entire forest. Through these links, trees can send signals about insects, drought and other dangers.

Wow pantheism.........
Some of the posts in here are grotesque paganism probably by some who claim to be Christians.
As I suspected, it's settled science!
They even have songs about it!
Perhaps with some free government money, you could do some transplanting!
And repair the injustice!
I Heard A Forest Praying
~~~~~
I heard a forest praying
The trees were cold and bare.
What was the forest praying?
Let me repeat their prayer.
Trees make a playground for children
Trees hide a lovers lane.
Shelter the tired and the weary,
Bringing them hope again.
Man turned the fields and the forest
Into a battlefield grim.
Men took a tree, an innocent tree
And made a cross for Him.
I heard a forest praying.
I heard the heavens weep.
Just as the dawn was breaking,
And night was gone to sleep.
Johnny Mathis - I Heard A Forest Praying Lyrics
Simply shows how racism is still rampant in the Germans!
Nice!
Soon climbing and tree houses too!
My grandkids have just started tree climbing.
Herons Build the monster nest in the upper branches, you think the trees like that?
Could be a fire hazard?
Do reporters have brains? Can they read on an elementary level? Do they have any conception of logic?
It makes perfect sense if you’re a totalitarian to outlaw things we need to live and be happy and then deny it to us. Put the proles in the Stone Age and oppress them mercilessly.
Not creepy, but an excellent LONG term strategy.
On second thought, the roots and branches just creep on outward.
Maybe that’s why they are pushing animal rights. They’ll try to register my dogs...
