Well they at least have vascular hormone systems, that much is biological fact. And sometimes those hormones and their signalling molecules can cross between separate plants. One could potentially call that a language.

I recently read some study, stating that trees have an actual measurable pulse, around 2 beats a minute.

That's interesting, like in the pressure of their vascular system?
