The meaning of trees
Trees are also a spiritual metaphor. Genesis talks about the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. God tells Adam and Eve they can eat of any tree in the garden, including the Tree of Life, but not the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Trees figure into the myths of many other cultures, including the world tree of Norse mythology, the sacred oaks of the Druids, the Kabalistic tree of mystical Judaism, and Buddha's Bodhi tree.
