This spell enables the druid to animate a tree. The animated tree has the same Hit Dice and general characteristics as a treant of the same size (Monstrous Manual tome). A tree whose resulting Hit Dice would exceed the caster's druidical level cannot be animated, and the selection is further limited by the actual size of the trees available. Intelligent or aligned trees are allowed a saving throw vs. spell to avoid the effect, and the spell has no effect on actual treants and similar extraordinary creatures. The animated tree follows simple commands. At the end of the spell's duration, the tree returns to its original location and reroots itself.

The material component is mistletoe.

Notes: Very rare for druids. (Updated from Polyhedron Newszine.)
