Ghost Wood Tree story?

[Bowserlovesmojitos]

When I was younger I remember reading a story about a young girl in a land where there is one tree made of Ghost wood that is left standing and a small baton of it that is the only deterrent to some recurrent danger.
The following story is about finding or planting seeds for the new trees?
I can't remember the story or title but it's just there at the back of my mind and I know I enjoyed it at the time.
Any one recall a similar tale?

Yes, I remember this one, but again, can't remember it's name. In fact I discovered this thread as a result of searching for it.
I remember the image in it of the ghost wood tree surrounded by ghosts.
