Trees are coral. Dead wood/dead limestone, wrapped over with living tissue.

Coral trees are make of rock wood and each leaf is it's own organism.

everything in nature has analagous structures. if you don't see them you're either looking too close or too far and you need to shift your perspective. a coral reef is a forest and the corals are the trees.

Me too, thanks. If I'm not making a total ass of myself, you need to get me to a hospital because something is wrong
