'''Trees''' are plants that appear with different roles in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise. Most of the time, they represent decorative elements. However, they are usually climbable and may hide items, especially in 3D platformers.

Interactive trees first appear in ''Super Mario 64''. Mario can climb on top of them like poles. In different areas, trees take on different appearances, with the castle's back courtyard and the snowy areas having evergreens. In some cases, climbing to the top causes a [[1-Up Mushroom]] to spawn. In [[Whomp's Fortress]], a tree contains [[Hoot]] in later missions. In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Hoot appears in trees in other levels as well.

Palm trees appear throughout ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They are occasionally covered in [[goop]] and will sprout up when it is cleared away, although some in [[Gelato Beach]] are simply spawned from praying in certain areas without the addition of goop. Some trees have a harmless spiky area near the leaves preventing Mario from climbing all the way up one. [[Pianta Village]] is centered around a particularly large tree. A baobab-like tree is in [[Pinna Park]] and resembles a [[Pianta]] head, having some [[Goop#Graffiti|X Graffiti]] on the front and a [[papaya]] dangling from the nose.

Trees with this specific design also appear as background elements in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', two ''Mario'' stages in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' ([[3D Land]] and [[Golden Plains]]) and in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''{{'}}s Story Mode hub.

====''Super Mario 3D World''====

Trees appear in various levels in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', occasionally releasing [[coin]]s or [[Mini Goomba]]s when the player climbs to the top. A unique type of tree with a white trunk and a yellow and orange-striped crown of leaves in the shape of a [[Super Bell]] also makes multiple appearances throughout the game, primarily in [[World 1 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 1]]. They appear in varying heights, ranging from short to extremely tall, even taller than [[Mega Mario]] at their tallest. Unlike the other tree types, if the player climbs to the top, a Super Bell will often appear and fall to the ground. When climbed on, these trees emit a bell jingling sound. (The same happens when the player touches one with the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]].) Trees can be destroyed by walking into them while under the effects of a [[Mega Mushroom]].

A fir tree that appears in the [[Deep Woods]] area of the [[Wooded Kingdom]] from ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' can be [[capture]]d with [[Cappy]]. This is indicated by a small, green orb on the top of it. If [[Mario]] captures the tree, he can move around by moving {{button|ns|leftstick}}. This is required in order to obtain a [[Power Moon]] in a glowing spot that is hidden underneath the tree. Unlike the more realistic trees in the game, this tree's design greatly resembles that of ''Super Mario 3D World''. Several climbable trees with designs based on those of the trees in ''Super Mario 64'' appear throughout the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]].

Trees reappear as a course element in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, where their height can be altered in a manner similar to [[Warp Pipe|pipes]]. Their designs vary between level themes, with the ground theme's trees taking the form of the Super Bell trees seen in the style's original game. Items can also be placed inside of them, and if the player climbs to the top, the item will pop out of it.

Climbable trees appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', notably in [[Jungle Japes]]. They typically resemble palm trees and are taller than the ones in ''Super Mario 64''. Their leaves also act as a platform.

Interactive trees appear in some of the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' games, such as ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Instead of being climbed, they can be hit with a [[hammer]], potentially causing items to drop from them.
