This publication is not aimed at the professional user, but at the occasional chain saw operator. Wear the appropriate safety equipment when working with a saw. And please remember, if you get tired during any of these jobs (felling, limbing or bucking), stop and rest! Your safety depends on it.

Whether you’re using a chainsaw to cut firewood, trim trees, or harvest large logs, you’ll be performing three basic jobs: felling, limbing, and notching. Felling is about cutting down a standing tree and felling it in the desired spot. Limbing is the removal of branches from either standing or fallen trees. Bucking is the process of cutting a felled tree into suitable lengths.

For information on how to select, maintain, and use a chainsaw safely, see MU Expansion publications G1954, How to Select and Maintain a Chainsaw, and G1959, How to Operate a Chainsaw Safely.

cut down a tree

Chopping down a tree can literally make or break the day. Landing a tree where you want it will make the rest of your operations easier. Many people who cut firewood have thrown trees at their pickup trucks.

Examine the tree and its surroundings

Look for an uneven distribution of branches in the crown of the tree, the slope of the trunk and signs of decay or decay. Inexperienced tree trimmers should never attempt to fell trees that are rotted or rotted inside, or that are crooked or otherwise under tension. Such trees have a greater risk of breaking or splitting when being cut, which could result in serious injury or death to the cutter or bystanders.

If there are power lines near the tree, do not attempt to fell the tree unless you are absolutely sure there will be no disruption. If the tree needs to be removed and you suspect the felling will affect a power line, contact the utility company. They have the expertise and equipment to safely remove the tree.

Examine the tree for loose, dead branches. Loose branches falling onto pruning shears are a common cause of serious injury and death. If possible, remove loose branches before felling. If this is not possible, fell the tree from a position where the branches could not hit you if they came loose.

Note the position of nearby trees. Make sure that the tree to be felled can fall to the ground. A fallen tree is very dangerous. Experienced loggers are often killed by felled trees snagging or snagging on neighboring trees. A tree springing back from the weight of a falling tree can hurl a broken branch at tremendous speed toward the cutter or bystanders.

Plan two escape routes

Plan two escape routes (B) against the intended direction of fall of the tree (A) and at an angle of about 45 to each other (Figure 1). Remove all obstacles from the paths. Place all tools and equipment a safe distance from the tree but not on the escape routes. Choose a place where you can park the chainsaw in an emergency. Never walk while holding a chainsaw, operating or not. Instead, turn off the chainsaw and put it down before heading out.

Figure 1. When preparing to fell a tree, plan two escape routes. Clear the paths of all obstacles before making your first cut.

Make the cut

Clear a safe work area around the base of the tree. Clear branches, undergrowth and other obstacles and make sure your escape routes remain clear.

Ensure that all bystanders are a safe distance from the base of the tree to be felled, at least 1-1/2 times the height of the tree, before making the first cut.

For trees 6 inches in diameter or less, make a cut through the trunk. For larger diameter trees, the inexperienced chainsaw operator should make two basic cuts: the undercut and the back cut. Advanced cutting techniques such as Plunge cutting, such as plunge cutting, should only be performed by experienced, professional lumberjacks.

undercut

The undercut serves as a guide or target slot for the tree. Basically it is a V-shaped notch made on the side of the tree in the direction of fall (Figure 2). Either a standard undercut (Figure 2a) or a reverse undercut (Figure 2b) can be used. Typically, the first cut is made parallel to the ground, and then the bevel cut.

A modified undercut known as an open undercut has become popular in many fields (Figure 2c). Introduced by Scandinavian felling specialists, this cut is easier to perform, provides good guidance and has additional safety features. Instead of ending with a 45 degree opening, the undercut offers an almost 90 degree opening. As the tree begins to fall, this modified undercut allows the tree additional room to fall before the top and bottom of the undercut come together.

For trees that are essentially straight, the depth of the undercut should be about 1/4 the diameter of the tree.

back cut

For all three undercuts, the backcut is made on the opposite side of the tree, slightly above the pivot point of the undercut (Figure 2). The pruning releases the tension on the back of the tree, which can cause the tree to fall. Never make the back cut deeper than the undercut as this reverses the roles of the two cuts. Never cut through the undercut as you will lose control of the tree.

As the saw nears the undercut, leave a small amount of wood to act as a “hinge” or “stay” (Figure 3). The tree actually rotates around this hinge, and the width and angle of the hinge can be used to determine the tree’s direction of fall. Because of the angled hinge, the tree will begin to fall onto the narrow section of the hinge while the wood is still intact on the thicker section of the hinge. The tree is therefore pulled towards the thick section. Making these cuts is an art and takes practice.

Once the tree starts falling, turn off the saw and head down your chosen escape route. Don’t stand at the base of the tree to admire your work. Falling trees have been known to jump backwards over the stump, injuring an unwary operator.

A crooked tree presents special problems. The difficulty of these problems depends on the direction and the degree of the slope. With conventional pruning, a crooked tree may break prematurely and fall over. Rather than risk serious injury by trying to fell a crooked tree, consult a professional arborist.

Figure 2. Three types of undercuts. Note that in each case the back cut is slightly (1 to 2 inches) above the pivot point of the undercut.

Figure 3. The direction of fall of a tree can be precisely controlled by properly performed undercuts and prunes.

branches of a tree

When removing unwanted knots from standing wood, the basic safety rule is: never clip branches over your shoulders; That said, don’t try to cut branches above shoulder height. Cutting above your shoulders requires you to hold the chainsaw at or near arm’s length, and you lose control of the saw in that position. Proper delimbing techniques to reduce damage to the tree are covered in MU Expansion publications G5160, Pruning Forest Trees and G6866, Pruning and Care of Shade Trees.

Different safety rules apply when limbing a tree lying on the ground. The first thing you should do is assess the fallen tree. If the tree has become pinched or wedged in neighboring trees and has not fallen all the way to the ground, do not go under the tree. It may fall without warning. “Hanged” trees are particularly dangerous and must be removed mechanically. They can be pulled down with a rope and suitably equipped with a tug to secure against rolling over and falling objects.

In addition to checking whether the felled tree is hung, consider the following questions as you survey the area:

Do you see smaller trees that were bent over and pinched by the felled tree?

Do you see branches partially holding the tree in the air?

Is the tree on level ground?

If you just felled the tree, are there dead branches or other debris hanging over you that might still fall to the ground?

Dead branches and debris are called widowmakers for a reason. They have been known to fall several minutes after felling a tree, seriously injuring or killing saw operators. To be safe, wait a few minutes for more debris to fall to the ground. Use the time to rest for a moment.

When you have assessed the obstacles and dangers and are ready to prune the tree, stand on the rising side of the tree. Never stand on the sloping side of a fallen log. If you cut a branch holding the log in place, the log could roll downhill and pinch you. Make sure you have a secure footing and stand in a balanced position that allows you freedom of movement

Start at the bottom of the tree and work your way up, removing branches on the opposite side of the tree from you as you walk. If possible, always cut on the opposite side of the trunk. This places the log between you and the saw, providing extra protection for you.

Watch the tip of the saw to avoid kickback. Put the saw down and clear debris regularly so you have a clear view and movement around the tree.

Try to cut the branches as flush with the base of the log as possible. This makes the log much easier to roll or move. If the branches are in a position where flush cuts are not immediately possible, remember to remove the branch stumps later.

Depending on the type and size of the tree to be limbed, some branches can be very heavy. When heavy branches are removed from a log, the log may unexpectedly shift position.

Smaller trees that are bent over and pinched by the weight of the fallen log are called spring poles. Jumping poles have a tremendous amount of stored energy and present one of the greatest hazards of the delimbing process. This energy can be safely removed by using an ax or chainsaw to cut the spring pole at the tip of its bend. Figure 4 illustrates how to locate the tip of a spring rod. Pinched branches can also be spring bars and treated in the same way.

When cutting a tree into firewood, you should start at the top of the tree so some of the branches don’t touch the ground. This way the wood falls to the ground and the saw is kept off the ground as much as possible. Good standing, good balance and freedom of movement are also particularly important here.

Figure 4. To locate the apex of the bend, imagine straight lines (a and b) coming out of the bent spring rod. These lines intersect at a point distant from the tree. Draw a third line (c) bisecting the angle formed by lines a and b. Cut where line c touches the tip of the spring rod.

Buckle a tree

The process of cutting a tree into usable lengths is called bucking. Buckling often occurs when a tree is delimbed, for example when the branches of the crown are to be used for firewood. When cutting firewood, make sure you know the length of wood you need before leaving home. When cutting full-size products such as saw and veneer logs, you must cut logs longer than the end product to allow for bleed. For an 8-foot log, a 4- to 6-inch cutting allowance is common. Many chop cuts are angled, and bleed allows the ends of the boards to be square cut at the mill to the desired board length.

When a tree is completely on level ground, the biggest problem with bucking is avoiding running the saw chain into the ground. When a tree is suspended from one end, the bucking process becomes more difficult. Figure 5 shows different bucking techniques. In any case, stand on the rising side of the log and hold the saw with both hands. Also, make sure you have a firm, level footing on the ground so you can move quickly when the log begins to roll.

A sawhorse can make bucking easier. It holds a log at a good working height so you can safely cut the log to length (Figure 6). You can find plans for building a sawhorse at your local library or in your chainsaw owner’s manual, or you can purchase a sawhorse from a variety of sources.

Figure 5. Depending on how the tree is laid, different bucking methods apply.

Figure 6. A sawhorse is useful for safely cutting wood to length.

Electrically operated chain saws

Electric chainsaws require some additional precautions. Use only the correct size 3-wire cord with 3-prong plugs and a grounded 3-wire outlet. A residual current circuit breaker in the power supply line helps prevent fatal electric shocks.

The floor in the work area should be relatively dry. Avoid working in areas where the foliage or soil is wet.

Lay the cable so that it does not interfere with your work. Be careful to place it where you won’t accidentally cut or trip over it with the saw.

Make sure the saw switch is in the off position before making the electrical connection. Always unplug the saw before making any adjustments and when the saw is not in use.

Trees make everyday life so much more pleasant. They give us beauty and shade and create a home for birds and other creatures.

But trees can also appear in our dreams – and there they can have different meanings. So if you want to find out what your dream about trees is telling you, where do you start?

Well, the good news is that you’ve come to the right place! We will explore the symbolism that trees carry to your subconscious. And we will examine 17 meanings when you dream about trees.

Let’s find out more…

What does a tree symbolize in a dream

There are many different views on what trees can symbolize in dreams.

Some believe that a tree represents the dreamer. The roots are the deep foundations of your existence, while the leaves and branches represent different aspects of your life.

There is also a close connection to the concept of family with the associations “family tree”. So dreams about trees could also be about your relationships with close or distant relatives.

For others, dreams are symbols of your spiritual life. Your associations with protection and stability indicate that you are working on your own self-awareness.

Trees could also signify any of the positive traits they bring into our lives. Your dream trees could signify protection and stability in a more general sense. And other meanings could include strength, growth, hopes and desires.

The biblical Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden can also influence the symbolism of your dream. To dream of a tree could point to new knowledge or an awakening self-confidence.

All these different alternatives mean that figuring out what your dream might be telling you is not always easy. A good place to start is to look at your own associations with trees. By figuring out what they symbolize most to you, you might find that you’re on the right track.

To help you further, we will look at some scenarios involving trees in dreams. And we will find out how these can be interpreted differently.

1. Dreaming of sitting or standing under a tree

If you were under a tree in your dream, the meaning could depend on whether you were alone or not.

If you were alone, your dream could represent a desire for solitude. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by the noise of everyday life and long for a place of retreat. The tree offers you shelter from the hustle and bustle of your waking hours.

If you are under the tree with someone else, maybe your dream is inviting you to think about your relationship. Your dream transports you both to a place of quiet contemplation where you can evaluate your thoughts and feelings.

2. Dreaming about a tree with huge roots

We have already seen that one interpretation of dreams involving trees is that they represent yourself. If your dream includes a tree with exaggeratedly large roots, it could be a sign that you are feeling “stuck”.

You are so attached to your current situation that it has become confining. Your dream may reflect a desire for change and a new perspective.

3. Dreaming about a tree with flowers

Trees covered in beautiful flowers portend good health and abundance. This dream could also be a sign of new and creative projects that are literally “blossoming” for you.

If you are thinking about starting a new business, your dream may reflect your own positive feelings about it. And those positive feelings give you the best possible chance of achieving your goals.

Also, some people believe that dreams are messages from supernatural sources that allow us to predict the future. According to this interpretation, a tree covered with flowers means that good things are on the way.

4. Dreaming about a tree without leaves

Trees without leaves are one of the most obvious signs of winter in nature. So when we see them in our dreams, they could serve as a metaphor for the passing of the seasons.

Therefore, the bare tree in your dream could be a sign of the passage of time. It could also mean that the energy has drained from a project or relationship.

Of course, these two meanings can often go together. Something that was once alive is now dormant, in part due to the time that has passed since that original creative spark.

Your dream may invite you to reflect on the changes that have taken place. Maybe it’s time to decide whether you’re trying to breathe new life into your project or let it fade away.

5. Dreaming of a tree with wide branches

A tree with broad branches is another instance where the dream represents a part of yourself. In this case, the branches can represent your willingness to help others. Just as real trees offer shelter to birds and animals, your “tree self” offers help to those around you.

However, it is possible that your dream is encouraging you to reconsider your approach if the tree has extremely wide branches. Could you help others at your own expense? There may be a chance they will take advantage of your good nature.

6. Dreaming of a burned or burning tree

Dreams in which you see a burnt tree can also refer to the tree as a symbol of yourself. Some interpretations hold that this represents a past injury that left you deeply scarred. It may have been a long time since the injury, but you are still feeling the effects today.

If this resonates with you, consider talking to a friend or counselor about your feelings. Your dream is telling you that the effects of what happened are with you today in a very real way. And it urges you to take action to help yourself heal.

When the tree burns, it is believed to represent a transformation. You may have to face difficult challenges to achieve spiritual growth.

7. Dreaming about a dead tree

If the tree in your dream is dead, it could mean that something is over. This could be a project that you have invested a lot of time and energy into. Or it could be a hope that you feel can no longer be fulfilled.

It can also indicate some instability in your life, perhaps related to physical, spiritual or sexual energy. Or this instability could be related to a relationship with a loved one.

But not all dead tree dreams are necessarily bad news. It can also be seen as a sign of upcoming renewal. Maybe it’s time to open up to new people and experiences.

8. Dreaming of a bleeding tree

A dream in which a tree bleeds is relatively rare. But the shocking image could relate to how you feel about your own emotional state.

Trees don’t have blood, of course – but humans do. The tree in your dream could represent injuries and losses that you are experiencing yourself. But instead of feeling it the way you would expect, you’re numb, almost “wooden.”

If you think this might be the case, it may be wise to seek professional help. Your dream is your mind’s way of telling you to pay attention to that feeling of numbness. Talking to someone about it could be an important first step.

9. Dreaming about climbing a tree

A dream about climbing a tree is another case where a number of interpretations are possible.

The most obvious thing is that you take action to achieve your goals. You are full of energy and drive and nothing stands in your way.

But less positive interpretations are also possible. You may be too aggressive in pursuing your goals – negative emotions push you into action. Perhaps you rest your self-esteem on achieving your goals instead of enjoying the journey for its own sake.

10. Dreaming about falling from a tree

Falling from a tree can mean a loss of status. Some interpretations are even more specific, seeing it as a loss of honor. This loss results from your own actions.

Therefore, this dream could be a warning to think carefully about your path. You may be considering a course of action that will damage your reputation.

11. Dreaming about planting a tree

Planting a tree in a dream means that you are now preparing for future success. As a sapling grows into a strong tree over time, so will your deeds bear fruit in the years to come.

The fact that this is a tree you are growing can mean that this is a long-term project. The growth may be slow, but the results will be great.

12. Dreaming about eating fruit from a tree

When your dream self eats fruit from a tree, it is generally considered a very positive omen. You enjoy the metaphorical fruits of your labor.

Some people believe that a dream of this type predicts good news in the future. You may get a job offer or promotion at work.

And other interpretations say that the type of tree is important in deciphering the meaning. For example, if you dream of a cherry tree, it means that someone is acting sweetly towards you.

We will learn more about the importance of other tree species later.

13. Dreaming of a talking tree

Any conversation in a dream is usually a message straight from your unconscious brain. It is the sharing of insights that you have gathered but not consciously recognized.

The advice can come from talking animals, objects – or a tree! In any case, listen carefully to what you are being told.

Some people also believe that dreams can contain messages from supernatural sources. The tree can be a symbol of knowledge, indicating that its words have authority. Your dream may be telling you to pay attention to what it says.

14. Dreaming of a tree covered with frost

As with dreams of burning or bleeding trees, a tree covered in frost may reflect your own emotional state. Maybe you feel cold or isolated. The frost may indicate fears holding you back.

But, as always, it pays to pay attention to the emotions you feel while dreaming. If the frost covered tree looks beautiful and makes you happy, the dream could mean something else entirely. Think about what you associate with both frost and trees to see the meaning.

15. Dreaming about an elm tree

The species of tree that appears in your dream can be significant in unraveling its meaning.

Elm trees are associated with the underworld in Greek mythology. Some believe they mean love, but that love is also mixed with pain.

Other interpretations are very different. The elm can be a message that it’s time to take a break. That can mean going on vacation or just finding a way to change your daily routine.

16. Dreaming about an oak tree

The mighty oak is rich in symbolism. It is prominent in Celtic mythology and represents long life and strength. It is also associated with kings and leadership.

If an oak tree appears in your dream, it could be a sign that you are on the road to success. But it is important to look at the condition of the oak. And as always, you should consider the emotions you are feeling in your dream for a fuller interpretation.

17. Dreaming of a pasture

A dream about a pasture is another good omen for growth – be it material or spiritual. In this case, however, the willow is meant to signify the involvement of other people. Through their efforts, you will find success.

Tree dreams can have many different meanings

We hope our guide to the different meanings when dreaming of trees has helped you interpret your own dreams.

Remember that the meanings laid out here can assist you in deciphering the message of your dream. But dreaming is a very personal experience, so it’s also important to examine the emotions you were feeling at the time. They can help you find the right interpretation for your own circumstances.

Good luck – and sweet dreams!

Trees are the symbol of life and fertility. They play a crucial role in the functioning of the work. Leaves of the tree keep a tree alive as they catch sunlight.

Seeing a leafless tree is like seeing it dead. It can symbolize the end of a season, the inevitability of death, lack of vitality, and sometimes rebirth.

A lifeless tree therefore usually has negative connotations and can even be seen as a bad omen. Seeing a leafless tree in your dreams can also be a symbol of lifelessness and dark times.

What does a leafless tree symbolize?

1. Desolation

The most common vision of a leafless tree is seen in dystopian movies. You see the tree surrounded by deserts and maybe a vulture.

In these moments, the tree is a sign of the lack of life. It shows us that this space may once have had rivers, grass, and thriving wildlife. But now it’s a desolate place, ruined by something.

In literature and film, this gives us a strong sense that the place is desolate, desolate and a shadow of itself.

2. No escaping the passage of time

A leafless tree similarly reminds us that there is no escaping the passage of time.

While the tree was once in its prime and its landscape was teeming with life-giving water and wildlife, the tree’s time has come and gone. It’s a shadow of its former self.

These images can be a good reminder of the importance of making the most of the present. If we are all guaranteed to get sick and die someday, then we need to think wisely about how to use our time now.

3. end

A leafless tree can mean the end of an era. Even the greenest trees full of leaves eventually lose their green. Everything ends at some point.

People who interpret dreams might be looking at a leafless tree in a dream and thinking about how the tree might be a sign from your subconscious that something has come to its bitter end. It could be a job prospect, a friendship, or a time of adventure.

4. Rebirth

Paradoxically, a leafless tree can also symbolize rebirth. Not every tree that loses its leaves is a dead tree or a dying tree.

Some trees lose all their leaves in the fall and have new leaves in the spring.

This symbolism can make us think that there is hope on the other side of sadness. The leafless tree is not at the end of its life – it is simply resting until good times come again.

Hope keeps the tree alive, so the message here could be that we should also have hope that better days are coming.

5. Bad times

Some people believe that a leafless tree is a bad omen and can symbolize bad times.

For example, spiritual people may believe that bad times may come for you if your plant loses its leaves.

Likewise, just looking at a leafless tree might remind us that winter is here. And this doesn’t have to be just a literal winter: it could be a reminder that a metaphorical season of winter has arrived when we’ll be feeling cold, sad, and melancholic.

What does the dream of a leafless tree symbolize?

Dream symbolism is highly subjective. Below are just examples of some possible interpretations.

1. Shattered hopes

If you see a leafless tree in your dreams, it could be a sign that your high hopes and dreams have recently been shattered. This may have left you heartbroken and sad.

The shattering of hopes and dreams can be heartbreaking. While there is nothing that can help you feel better right now, recognize the fact that once you have had happy and prosperous times, you can do it again. That might give you some hope.

2. Past injury

A leafless tree in your dreams can also symbolize some deep wounds from your past.

This is because a leafless tree once flourished and was full of greenery and life. Likewise, your past might have been very happy before something happened that hurt you and put you in a state of sadness.

Worrying about things from the past will not change the future. Instead, it will only stress you out more. So the tree can remind you that there is no point in dwelling. Your subconscious may be sad, but it’s up to your conscious selling to rewrite your narrative.

3. Detachment

Seeing a lifeless tree can symbolize distance. This could be distancing yourself from certain people who have made you feel that life is full of beauty.

Distancing from people could be because your trust and belief has been broken too many times. Metaphorically, the fallen leaves are like happiness that has been pulled away. You are left alone, detached from this happiness of the past.

4. End of a relationship

If you see a leafless tree in your dream, it could mean that you recently ended a relationship with someone close.

A leafless tree appears at the end of a happy season of warmth. Likewise, the recently ended relationship was once happy but is long gone.

What remains is a skeleton of a memory of better times in the past.

5. Getting old

A leafless tree can also appear in your dream as you grow old. There’s a moment in your life when you really realize you’re not as young as you used to be, and that can be overwhelming for people.

Aging is a natural phase of life. You must realize that we only have a limited amount of time in this infinite universe. Sometimes it’s hard to understand, but you can’t change the laws of nature.

6. Worried about things

If you are worried about certain things and how the future will hold for you, you might see a leafless tree in your dreams.

Worrying about things that are beyond your control will only cause you more anxiety and stress. It takes the ability to think rationally. You can keep a calm mind and think rationally before making decisions.

Conclusion

A leafless tree has mostly negative meanings and interpretations both in popular culture and in dreams. In popular culture, it is used as a dystopian sign for the end of civilization, bad times, or hopelessness in the present.

Paradoxically, even a leafless tree will bloom again in spring, so hope will soon be over the horizon.

The important lesson of the leafless tree is that nothing can escape the passage of time. Every mortal being here has a limited amount of time and they must make the most of the time they have.

Description: Your house or other building will be damaged or destroyed. They may be scared or trying to escape or save others. Variations of this dream involve valuable possessions (your wallet, watch, books or artwork) being stolen, lost or damaged.

Frequency: These dreams are fairly common. They can especially occur when you feel a threat to your body or emotional well-being.

Common Meanings: Dream homes often embody themselves. They can make you feel damaged or that things are getting worse. Your identity is threatened or something valuable (including time) has been lost. The meanings vary depending on the property lost and the nature of the damage.

Questions to ask yourself:

Is your dream home small or spacious? Shabby or neat? Decayed or in good condition?

Are there rooms and rooms in it that you have never seen before?

Which area of ​​the house is at risk? How do you use this area? Why is it important to you? What happened there lately?

Which item is missing? How would you describe it?

Why is the object important to you?

Why do you need it or how do you use it?

What has changed recently in your waking use of this object?

Psychiatrist Richard J. Corelli wrote for Stanford University that the intruder figure in a dream is “often an internal psychological figure, possibly representing a shameful or undesirable part of ourselves invading our consciousness… It is about to enter ours consciousness, and then we have to confront that unwanted aspect of ourselves.” Corelli elaborated that “the purpose of this character seems to be to reflect all the worst aspects of our character, so that we become more aware of those traits and those unwanted, but can accept vital parts of ourselves.” And while these qualities of us may be unknown or denied in our waking states, they are often aspects of our personality that are “quite obvious” to those who live with us or know us intimately. are, he says, but because we haven’t yet recognized and integrated them en, “these aspects of ourselves appear strange and frightening to us in our dreams”.

And while you might want to forget those dreams once you wake up from them. Corelli finds them useful to remember. “The intruder in the dream represents a part of ourselves that we’ve kept out of our awareness for too long and that now needs to be let in,” he explained.

Trees are fascinating. We can appreciate their uniqueness and beauty, their intricate root systems, and the way they instill a sense of peace and serenity as we enter their presence. However, what we find most fascinating is exploring tree symbolism as it relates to us and our universal connection to all things.

Trees are perhaps best known as metaphors for life and spiritual growth. So if we look closely at tree symbolism, we can see correlations with our own lives. We can learn lessons that can inspire us and give insights on our own spiritual paths.

Avia Venefica knows about cultural symbolism. She earned her bachelor’s degree in anthropology and has spent years studying the cultural and archetypal meanings of symbols. According to Avia, “Trees are perfect examples of how to live, grow, change, change and even die with grace.”

What can we learn from trees (and why?)

Avia explains, “Trees invite us to fully absorb their essence, and we do so by tapping into their infinite branches of energy. Tree symbolism is a way to classify, identify, and organize the array of energetic knowledge they contain and integrate that array into our daily lives.

Our collective human intuition begins to touch on this understanding: “Knowing something is also connecting with it.” And connecting with a thing creates an entanglement with it.

Connecting to something on different levels means creating a new thread of creation in our own lives.

The process of learning and connecting with trees (or anything else) ensures our longevity and places us in a position of higher vision.”

Lessons we can learn from tree symbolism

The following thoughts can help you become aware of what we can learn from trees:

Trees are therefore often seen as a symbol of all creation

The latter tradition persists today in neo-pagan religions such as Wicca. Trees have always provided humans with food, shelter, wood, shade and many other basic necessities of life.

Today most of us plant trees to provide shade and privacy and some are planted for their beautiful flowers. But planting a tree can mean so much more.

Since ancient times, trees have been used to represent life, growth, wisdom, prosperity and more in legend, poetry, literature and religion. We all know the symbolism behind an olive branch and the tree of knowledge from the Garden of Eden.

Cultures around the world hold both deciduous and evergreen trees as sacred symbols. Here are some of the most popular trees and their symbolic meaning:

Apple trees stand for benevolence, luck and the fullness of life. They are important to both Greek and Norse mythology. Bees and birds love apple trees.

Wisteria and cherry trees are valued for their beautiful and fragrant flowers. They represent love and romance in many cultures.

Oaks are among the most popular trees in the world. It is a symbol of strength, courage and knowledge. Wearing oak leaves was a sign of special status among the Celts, ancient Greeks and Romans.

Birch trees represent new beginnings. Often seen as a pioneer, the birch takes root in landscapes where no other tree has taken root before.

Elms stand for life and eternal wisdom. No wonder so many campuses plant elms along their entrances.

Maple trees represent balance, longevity, and generosity. One reason for this symbolism is that maple trees have the ability to adapt to many different soil types and climates.

Fir trees are a symbol of honesty, truth and openness because they grow straight like a tower. When grouped together, they symbolize a long-lasting friendship due to their evergreen display.

Yew trees symbolize longevity due to their long life. The oldest yew is said to be at least 3,000 years old.

Now is the perfect time to plant a big tree. Whether you are deciding on a tree to plant for its appearance and size or for its symbolism, ask Augustine if he can select a tree from her tree farm along the Esospus. Why plant a sapling that takes years to produce shade, fruit or flowers. Augustine can put a large tree in your yard that will bring instant gratification and joy for a century.
