The statement number 1 is grammatically correct.
(Other answerers - To be grammatically correct, a sentence should not be meaningful -- Consider this: I saw some cars flying near the bottom of the Pacific Ocean when I was eating iron sheets)

Okay, this is about variants, right?
2. A tree is ordered from and can be destroyed to its first bodies.
That is the correct grammar... however, its sense can be made clearer through the use of punctuation. Perhaps:
A tree is ordered from (and can be destroyed to) its first bodies.
I like parentheses, but it could just as easily be done with dashes.

Well, I don't know what you mean by using the word "bodies" as if it should be an object, subject, or a location ... So, I'm just assuming it's refered to as a "location", therefore, this is the way I would write it:
A tree is ordered from its first bodies where it can be disordered as well.

A tree is ordered from the first bodies, to which it can be disordered.
I guess this will be right

The second one is probably wrong. Both 1st and 3rd ones say that the tree was made up from the first bodies and again becomes them after death. #You look like a Teacher or an author#

I don't understand what the intention of the sentence is. I don't know the meaning of the word 'ordered' in this sentence or the meaning of 'first bodies'.
But, the first one is better than the other two.

If I had any idea what you were talking about, I could help you. It's definitely not 2.
