Tree

Trees are plants taller than bushes that have toughened stems.
Trees have a limited amount of passive knowledge, due to their long-distance connections through the soil, which can be accessed by those that can tune into it.
Dodons, commonly called treants (though this can refer to any moving tree), are sapient trees. Able to speak, they can convey much more wisdom to those that seek their counsel. They will rarely ever offer it. Dodons are very wise and knowledgeable, reputed to be prophetic, but their knowledge is from their age and connections to many other plants. Information about objects or people distant from or not at all (ever) connected to plants or other trees will be beyond the reach of a dodon. (Note: not all dodons are ents (able to uproot).)
Making a wish on a tree is talking to a tree that can pass your information through its connections. The idea of "world trees" are localized land/earth/realm trees (see next paragraph). The magical properties of fruits from trees can be greater than that of herbs. Trees can heal and restore people with their deep and vast connection to nature.
Most nations have megafloral trees that grow larger than any other in the land and act as as passive protectors of it. Unless dodonic, the active protectors are then nature and guardian spirits.
Groves
Oak, ash, and hawthorn are the 3 sacred kinds of wood for enchanted objects. Yew and apple are favored for wands. Hazel for dowsing rods.
The longest enduring elves are older than the oldest trees.
The apple tree man and the money tree are both myths about supernatural behavior of trees.
