Final answer:

The provided texts seem to be from Washington Irving's stories, not related to Boo Radley's tree. These excerpts use trees to evoke feelings of supernatural presence and isolation, which are different from what Boo Radley's tree represents in 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tree in front of Boo Radley's house in Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird represents many different things, including the mystery surrounding Boo Radley himself. It symbolizes the misunderstandings and the wild imaginations of the children concerning who Boo is.

However, the excerpt provided does not directly relate to this tree or Boo Radley, as it appears to be from a different text altogether, possibly Washington Irving's stories, which include supernatural elements and themes of isolated individuals in looming, haunted settings.

While there may be thematic connections in terms of how the imagery of trees is used to evoke certain feelings or represent certain ideas, the specifics will differ between the stories.
