Tree Wonders - 30

Who was the great Sage who gave discourses about all of Hashems trees?

Shlomo hamelech the wisest of all , as we are taught in Melochim 1:5:13.

How many trees do you pass by every day ? And how often do you thank & praise Hashem for them ?
Every tree you pass is an opportunity for growth as we think about Hashem who created it & keeps it growing.
One example -
The Talmud ( Beitza 25b) teaches how certain plants whose roots grow straight down serve as a model of always avoid stealing & trespassing on the property of others.
We can say a similar idea - a tree stays in place no matter how much you will insult it or reprimand it. It keeps on doing what it does , to serve Hashem by doing its job , with steadfast , persistence , which we should learn.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
