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.
Well that thinking only has merit if being sentient means being like humans.

Perhaps trees are sentient in ways we havent thought of or cannot comprehend due to our nature....
