When papers and pens do not exist yet, people of long ago usually write on walls carved using stones. From there, you could see how they tell the stories of long ago and the things that they consider holy during that time. You can see that they worship that sun, stars, and the moon. But most of all, they also consider the trees as their gods at the same time. LIFE Since the world was created, trees have been giving life to both human and animals by offering them more than just shade. Trees are responsible in giving everyone the fresh air to breathe as well as making the carbon dioxide useful for everybody as well. That is why one of the things that these woody plants symbolize is life. Without trees and without air, nobody will survive that is why many consider it as an icon of life. GOD Trees are also used to symbolize one's belief in god or the Creator. This is because the plants sustain life (as mentioned before) and provide other things as well including food that both men and animals can eat, shelter, protection, and almost anything that the supernatural creator can give. MAN Trees grow and so does man. That is why trees are also used to represent the humans since they have roots, they develop their own trunk, and branch out to bigger opportunities while learning more and facing hardships at the same time STRENGTH If you are looking for something to lean on, you search for something that is sturdy or something that has great power. So if you need a thing that would symbolize power and strength, do not look too far because trees are there to provide you that support that you need. COMFORT For some reason, most people find it very relaxing just by looking at the lush green mountains filled with trees. Trees do indeed represent comfort. You can simply look at any scenery with trees and find comfort. Aside from that, just by being near a tree, there are also some people who find it comforting. They can unwind, think of nothing but being free, and a lot more. MONEY or FORTUNE Have you heard about fortune cookies? Well, people do not just believe on fortune cookies but on money trees too! More often than not, it is the fruit-bearing trees that are usually associated with great fortune. But in other countries like Korea and China, there are some flower-bearing trees that they consider as a sign of good fortune especially by the time that the tree is already filled with buds and vividly colored flowers. These are the common things that people usually associate the trees with. But it is not limited to only these. There are also some religions that see the trees as a holy symbol at the same time. It is also often associated with romance, poetry, and a lot more. The possibilities are actually endless. You can use the trees to symbolize almost anything.
