I hate to accuse Stephen of speciesism but my thinking about the
animal/plant distinction is based on a lifetime of fighting the
invasion of thorny-bushes and kudzu. They move slower than some
other creatures but are just as aggressive in the Southern USA.
More seriously, talk to botanists and read:
Darwin, C. R. 1875. The movements and habits of climbing plants.
2d edition. London: John Murray.

My two cents. Whatever behaviour is, I'm sure that oak trees don't do it.
So any definition which allows oak trees to behave will not do. The same
goes for Canadian maple trees. Dogwood--maybe, because of their bark.
