Dryads and the Properties of Wood   "
The dryad is the spirit of the tree, its essential pattern.  It is a living being linked to the tree and growing with it, but at the same time it is a trans-temporal and trans-spacial creature, living in the Astral dimension as much as in 
the mundane world. When a branch falls off a tree or is pruned, the dryad spirit is still in the wood. It is not really correct to speak of "parts" of a spirit, but one might consider the spirit of the wand to be part of the tree's consciousness. Some writers suggest that trees 
withdraw their life from a branch when they sense it is going to be cut and there is doubtless something to such observations. Nevertheless, in my experience, the spirit always remains in some degree and can be awoken by enchantment when the branche is crafted into a wand."  Dryads, Druids and the Fifth Element.  57kb.  An excellent webpage.

Tree Trivia and Tree Myths  By Kim Sebastian.  From the Wisconsin Natural Resouces Magazine.  25Kb.  "Let your tree knowledge branch out:  There are over 20,000 different kinds of trees in the world.  Less than 1% of a tree is made up of living cells.  About 90% 
of a tree’s roots are in the top 18 inches of the soil. This is why it's important not to compact the soil or disturb the ground beneath the tree.  Roots can extend up to three times the height of the tree. The notion that the root of a tree mirror its crown is more artistic than accurate. The shape of a tree actually resembles a wineglass set on a plate.  Root growth can occur any time the soil temperature is above 32 F.  A large leafy tree may take up as much as a ton of water form the soil every day."
