Trees were plentiful throughout Middle-earth and were very loved by Tolkien. There was also the Race known as Ents.

[edit] Inspiration

"During the first year of the boy’s [Tolkien’s] life Arthur Tolkien made a small grove of cypresses, firs, and cedars. Perhaps this had something to do with the deep love of trees that would develop in Ronald."
