Reply To: Can trees see?

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.
