This image from 1588 shows a tree with big bound books grewing instead of fruits. This tree starts in a house organ that is played from a well-dressed woman and a man. The image of part of. abook praising the art of making books, you may find it here if you fancy: http://diglib.hab.de/drucke/uh-20/start.htm
Back in 1588, everyone still knew that book trees grow better when there's music around, and when you speak to them. Attention and house organ music were the key.
