Here is a short, fun article about the significance of tree's in religion. I liked the drawings. I don't have a date, but it doesn't look especially old. The article talks a little about the Assyrians and Egyptians and used trees in their culture and worship. In the bottom right drawing from Egypt is shows how they thought that they banana plants fertility is due to divine beings who lived in the trees, and the picture on top shows a simple, beautiful drawing from medieval times, how God creates the first human in the Garden of Eden between tree of life and the tree of knowledge. Kind of interesting, at least someone thought so.
