    How do they know not to bump into buildings?

    No, they always crash into moving cars.

    They do sometimes, They can fall into buildings and sometimes they even grow in buildings (If they are not trimmed and the building is abandoned, trees grow in them)

    Lots of trees bumped into buildings during Sandy.

    Trees do bump into buildings, and will even grow through a building if able to do so (depends on how strong the building is).

    Trees have some senses that let them know when to shed leaves, etc., but nothing resembling vision.

    They might not be able to see, but they sure can scream. They can scream that the whole world can hear when they are cut down.

    Sounds like some women I know.

    of course they do, and they see extremely clearly too. Ever see a tree with glasses?……there you go!

    I guess the hurricane blindfolds them.

    Have you been in the NY/NJ area since hurricane Sandy?

    Do trees use a belt or suspenders to keep their trunks up?

    Do you call the grafted part of a tree a branch office?

    If you put your car on Elm instead of Oak are you parking up the wrong tree?

    In the fall, does an anti-social tree tell everyone to leave me alone?

    If 2 trees are competing who do you root for?

    I said to the tree, “should I cut you down?” & the tree said, “What are you axing me for?”

    And if you cut it down, what wood you use it for anyway?

    More importantly – do they hear (when they fall)? 😛

    Derech Hamelech, an animal doesn’t have a Mazal and a tree does? (Lav Davka are they one and the same, though.)

    How does the hurricane come in here? If someone knocks you down I don’t think seeing would help you, either.

    zahavasdad and akuperma, are you talking about branches or roots. I’ve seen roots grow into things, but never branches. The only case of branches, that I know of, growing into buildings is when the building was built after the tree was there.

    Actually, branches grow toward the sun, so perhaps this mechanism keeps them away from going into a wall.

    Trees have been found to be able to communicate with other trees, by releasing scents and chemicals to signal stress, insect danger and other ‘tree’ concerns. There are studies (including my own) that plants respond to the spoken word positively and negatively. I see no reason a tree should be less sensitive than a bean sprout.
