Trees in fairytales

We get introduced to trees and plants through fairytales when we are kids. The tree is often represented as a wise and old character, and it often has human skills such as the ability to walk and talk. The plants and trees are often represented as something mystical and magical, and maybe this has some of the reason to why kids wants to climb and create their own magical tree-castles. Some examples of fairytales are:
- Jack and the beanstalk
- Thumbelina
- Tarzan
- The Baron in the Trees
- Harry Potter
- Lord of the rings
