I wasn't ready for how weird this comment section turned out to be...
Based on your username, you should be used to weird shit.
Or maybe the microorganisms and food sources that life forms are exposed to have more of an effect on how the macroorganisms evolve than is currently talked about, which would explain why so many things in similar environments evolve similar traits.
theres also a definition of a what a tree in the sense , its develops wood, many things are tree like, but not trees: such as palms(just overgrown herbs), dracaena( aka cabbage tree, they have something dracenoid thickining.) extinct plants like giant lycophytes and ferns
Well, I'm just a product of my environment.
Are at least all woody plants related?
As far as they are all vascular plants, but that's like, basically everything that isn't moss iirc.
The evolution of wood is common because it's simple for cellulose to get denser in response to a need to grow taller to outcompete your neighbors.

I always liked the idea of being a tree like life form.
Imagine looking down at a bunch of cute little things crawling all over you for hundreds of years and then one day one of them shows up with an axe
