That's an interesting piece of anthropology. I don't know about trees, but
I have heard that there are some mushrooms and weed that they call magic.

To knock on wood to avert being deprived of good fortune probably
relates to pagan times when trees were defied. That fact that
lightening often struck trees led to a belief that divine power had
entered them. Trees were then soon identified with particular
deities. Hence to touch their timber would get magical results.
