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.)
