Trees need light for energy - and as such they will reach out for it - be it upwards, sideways, or downwards. Photosynthesis is arguably the most important biochemical pathway known. It is an extremely complex process, comprised of many coordinated biochemical reactions and nearly all of life depends upon it. That is why we cut trees down.
