Answer 1

Here's some info:

Trees—or the fruit they bore—also came to be associated with wisdom, knowledge, or hidden secrets. This meaning may have come from the symbolic connection between trees and worlds above and below human experience.

Another belief about trees sees them as embodying deities, spirits, or simply humans changed into trees by a special fate. Some Celtic* and other European peoples worshiped groves of trees as well as particular trees. In the religion of the Druids*, oaks were sacred. The ancient Romans associated oak trees with their sky god, Jupiter.

In Greek and Roman mythology, Dryads (also called Hamadryads) were nymphs who lived in trees and perished when their trees died or were cut down.

And also:
The Oak tree (Quercus robur) was thought to have been a primary focus of worship long before the Druids of ancient times give prevalence and significance to other trees. It was believed that the oak was the first tree created by god and its fruit, the Acorn, the first food of mankind.

Since time began the oak was revered by many cultures, the Greeks held it sacred, the Romans dedicated it to Jupiter, and the Druids venerated it. The Greek historian Herodotus (often called the “father of history” 484? - 425? BC.) reported that the sacred oak grove at Dodona had the greatest reputation for the gifts of prophecy.
