Basic Characteristics of Life include (but are not limited to):

A) Require energy - Trees consume the glucose they produce during photosynthesis

B) Growth - Trees grow upward against the pull of gravity. Their roots grow downward.

C) Reproduction - Trees produce seeds to grow new trees

D) Cellular organization - Trees are made up of cells

E) Respond to stimulus - Trees respond to changes in temperature and humidity by opening and closing stoma and losing leaves in the winter (deciduous)

Trees perform all the same basic life functions that every other living thing does.

Trees have roots and those roots have tiny particles that are working and trying to collect food and consume water just like we do. Some people may say that they are alive and some not, because Trees are not alive in the sense, the do not have a brain no thoughts, and can not move from place to place.

Technically yes
