Talking with plants is usually only possible through magic. I would not allow it in general. Or rather, I'd not allow them to pass any information to the player. If it's limited to trees and one-way communication it's a cute little perk, but if they can somehow answer there are issues.
Though, one-way communication might be interesting. The player could tell a tree something, and if a druid with speak with plants come along the tree could relay the information. And should they happen upon a haunted forest (the classic "grabbing trees" kind), maybe the player could use diplomacy to keep the trees' from harassing them.

I believe Loraxes speak for the trees. Perhaps they speak Treant?
Less tongue in cheek, I believe Entish was understood by Huorns (wild animated plants) in Tolkien, and probably Leshys might also speak the language. So I'd go with the plants thing. It might be redundant with the spell speak with plants, though, so I'd caution that would only be usuable with plants that normally can understand language, not others. Green Dragons are another possibility, given that they can create Treants.
