I was wondering…… if there's such thing as birth stones then is there such thing as birth trees? I think I might of heard of it before. Have any of you heard of it?

I've seen a lot of Celtic oriented "birth trees" and there is the story where humans are made from drift wood (Askr and Embla, or Ash and Elm). Yggdrasil is considered an Ash tree in the lore. Personally I associate Pine trees with the surface of Svartalfheimr, specifically with Dokkalfar. There is also some shared gnosis with that and Deciduous trees being associated with Alfheimr. Beyond that, I can't remember many associations of trees in Heathenry, though I'm sure there are more (though not associated with dates on a calendar).
