Apparently - and I don't know the ins and outs of this - some people (OK, let's say wackos) in Japan like to pick on a tree and bless it - not because it's a particularly special tree in the arboreal scheme of things, but simply as an example. They then give praise to it. I love trees - we would be stuck without them, and I think if you're going to worship anything then why not a random tree? The only problem being that in the process it makes you look like a loon, but the fact that some people do it anyway is rather nice.
