  Bioluminescent ferns bordering a wooded path would be rather magical.

  I don’t think you could get wood/bark to fluoresce as it’s dead tissue… in general some tree species are very easy to work with and engineer. Poplar for example

      I have a guide for how to do this at home! Wouldn’t let me add the pictures for some reason Image

    But some parts of the tree must be still living

      Oh yes of course. I just mean the bark wouldn’t shine but you could see in the leaves

        But couldn’t they target the vascular cambium?
