There's been a lot of study on this topic which is interesting! As you say, they collect moisture in a lot of ways. Part of this is done by the structure of the tree [1] (the surface area of the leaves is surprisingly large and catches a lot of moisture and other particulates in the air), rain drops hitting tree leaves cause droplets to break into a fog or mist, and some varieties of trees found in rainforests will also release various chemicals and compounds [2] that can encourage cloud formation and rainfall. It's fascinating stuff! 1. How Trees Bring Water: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY8ds4BiG1A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY8ds4BiG1A 2.
