It seems that quite a lot of tree-to-tree networking is done via mycorrhizal networks. Without doubt there are mutually beneficial interactions between plant roots and fungi for extracting nutrients, and quite a lot of good evidence that those networks are informational in nature, too. Whether that's related to seed-dispersal patterns... I have no idea. Alternately, I have also read of trees exuding pheremones via their leaves as a warning to other trees in the vicinity when predators (antelope) come around to munch on the leaves, resulting in surrounding trees rapidly increasing tannin content in their own leaves to make them unpalatable to the browsers. There's a whole lot of shit going on out there that we're scarcely aware of...
