@mej2011 - well Aboriculture is the study of trees and an Arborist is someone who likes trees and an Arboretum is a place where you can go and see a tree. I thought a phobia of trees would have to have Arbor in there somewhere. In my dictionary of the Tree, the words starting with Dendrob, tend to be trees hailing from the Tropics, to which we know 80% of the world's tree species are endemic. We do know that Dendrochronology is the art of counting rings to see how old a tree is and only true trees with lignin will do that.
Sometimes my brian has better things to do, like make things up and place frogs on tomatoes.
@mej2011 - they do. Colin Tudge has written a wonderful tale of the Tree simply called The Tree and that is a Natural History of What Trees Are, How They Live and Why They Matter. The dictionary I speak of is called The Plant Book by DJ Mabberley and it is A Portable Dictionary of the Vascular Plants containing 2,500 new entries in this second edition, the full tome contains 20,000 entries from Aa to Zyzyxia

Thanks! I'll add it to the list of phobias to consider.
I know, I'm a party pooper. I'm just not a fan of anything that makes me cold. lol. How much is loads for your area?
Aboriphobia? Never heard of it. Dendrophobia is fear of trees. Which can be seen here: http://365project.org/mej2011/365/2012-01-06
You made it up? Why?

Your dictionary of the tree? They make specific dictionaries of words relating to trees? Interesting.
Thanks & Thanks!
