OK, after I have compiled a thread about Things That Affect Invisible Heroes (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=22228) I decided to do another round of experimentation - basically for my own reference since I played all the heroes but early in my HoN career used to be unsure which skills interact (in most cases that means "destroy") with trees.

Of course I share this information mostly with new players (hence my choice of sub-forum) since anybody who played all the heroes will already know this.

I also include some skills that might be expected to interact with trees but actually don't.

Andromeda
Void Rip: Yes (If there are trees between you and your target)

Zephyr
Wind Control: Nope (OK, perhaps I was the only one who expected it to work :-P)

Glacius
Glacial Downpour: Nope (Massive AoE Ult, again might just have been me)

Pyromancer
Dragonfire: Yes

Tempest
Meteor: Yes (Yes, hell, yes - best "lumberjacking" skill in the game - good Tree Sight counter)
Elemental Void: Yes (Though it shouldn't be used primarily for that =)

Behemoth
Fissure: Partial (Goes through trees but doesn't destroy them - some new players don't know that)
Shockwave: Nope (I am disappoint, son.)

Rampage
Stampede: Partial (Makes Rampage phase through trees - interesting change from Rampage's DotA counterpart)

Pebbles
Stalagmites: Yes (I was surprised when I found that out, since other "earth based" skills seem to have a tendency to not work on trees)
Chuck: Nope

Keeper of the Forest
Tree Sight: Yes (You use it on a tree - duh)
Nature's Vengeance: Yes (Rips out a tree - isn't that like fratricide for Keeper? :-P)

Sand Wraith
Desert's Curse: Partial (Goes through trees and allows Sand Wraith to phase through about anything)

Hellbringer
Summon Malphas: Yes (Has the LARGEST tree destruction range in the game at level 3 - even if it shouldn't be used solely for that =)

Devourer
Gutting Hook: Partial (Goes through trees as any seasoned player will know - info only for the newbies out there - REMEMBER THAT!)

Kraken
Whirlpool: Nope (Honorable mention since his ulti never destroyed trees but now can't even be cast in tight spots in between trees)

Magmus
Lava Surge: Partial (Goes through trees, doesn't destroy them)
Eruption: Nope (All in all I'm disappointed with Magmus' inability to pwn trees :-(

Pharaoh
Wrath of the Pharaoh: Partial (Goes through trees - this info is targeted at anybody saying Pharaoh and/or his Ult sucks (a.k.a. noobs))

Just for good measure a few obvious items:

Logger's Hatchet: Yes (O RLY?)
Runes of the Blight: Yes (NO WAI!)
Homecoming Stone: Yes (If cast at a location close to the trees, it will take some of them down.)
Post Haste: Yes (See Homecoming Stone above.)

Pyromancer's AE stun also destroys trees :)

Yeah, I had him on the list, just skipped him for some reason when writing the post, though I clearly put him between Glacius and Tempest. :-P

Man.. you must have some lumberjacking/deforesting fetish :P

Haha nice post/guide though.

Yeah, I'm currently thinking about employing either Tempest or Hellbringer (with a Restoration Stone!) in my Amazonian Rainforest lumbering company. :-P

Unless they have recently changed it, magmus can slide through trees. I know this because I've gotten partially stuck. I say partially because I was able to wiggle out.

You, sir, are correct.

Amending my post.

Of course I am. I'm terrible at this game but I still know all of the abilities. Muwahaha!

Seriously though, nice list.

if there are trees between Andromeda and the target when she swaps, they'll get chopped down.
