Dendrophobia

Dendrophobia is the fear of trees. It comes from the Greek word dendro meaning "trees", and phobos, "fear". It is usually triggered from a traumatic childhood experiences, like getting poked by low or fallen branch or a tree falling onto them.

Hylophobia, xylophobia, or ylophobia are fears of wood or forests, and nyctohylophobia is the fear of forests at night. These fears came from traumatic experiences in the forests, like getting attacked by a creature hiding in the trees. Not always do they come from experience with trees, but sometimes from books, stories, and/or movies, such as me, (the one who edited this in) who is afraid of oak trees because of dog man fetch 22.

Treatments
Phobias such as dendrophobia or hylophobia are usually treated by putting the patient in therapy and making them recall the incident in question, and making them see it from an adult perspective. This is often a hard task, as the original incident will have been forgotten, and or anti-anxiety medicine may have to be used.
