The famous Trees series

Trees are misunderstood.  They 'talk' to each other and
will kill their predators!  Go to YouTube and watch
BBC How Plants Communicate & Think - Amazing Nature Documentary
if you don't believe me.  They have more complicated DNA
than mammals and they live for hundreds - some for thousands - of years. 
They make rubber and oil out of dirt and water.  Beat that!
We need them more than they need us!
