Wouldn't it be cool tho? You could go up to a tree that's super old and ask it about the world, and it would take an entire day to spell a word in a language you don't understand. And house plants would be chit chatting and making all kinds of noise inaudible to us, kinda like WiFi, but with sound instead of light. It's like a fantasy setting

    When I was a little kid my mother always stopped by ancient trees to admire them. "Imagine if it could tell us what it has seen".

    I think there's plot material in your comment.

    I remember reading an old sci-fi novel about a specific type of alien ancient sentient tree... The Leaves of October.

    It was... Okay. More of a collection of short stories around the central theme. Still interesting, though. Haven't thought about that book in decades!
