If trees were sentient an intelligent, wouldn't they have developed their own culture? Have habitats, familys and organisations as us men?
No, gentle ladies and men, if they were intelligent and in such numbers, we would soon be overrun and defeated by the tree-race. But we are still here, on the top of the food chain and that proves my point: the trees are objects to be employed by us in our quest for knowledge.
