History[[edit] | [edit source]]
The forest on a planet knew that, in 5345, the harvest rangers from Androzani Major would melt down the forest for fuel. They also knew that the Eleventh Doctor would come to the planet, so they planned to escape using him. They formed themselves into a tower with a globe to travel off planet. A crown was made, which acted as an interface to allow the lifeforce to enter a person. The Wooden Queen was also in the tower to help the process.
In 5345, Cyril Arwell came to the planet via a portal from 1941 created by the Doctor. The Wooden King was created to lure him to the tower, but once he got there he was found to be too weak to transport the forest. The Doctor and Lily, who had followed him, were also found to be too weak. Their mother Madge was suitable and the forest entered her just before they were harvested by acid rain. Using her own mind, she was able to pull the globe through the Time Vortex and landed in 1941 England, while the forest dispersed into the Vortex.

One account suggested that the Doctor met the Arboreal Migration on several other occasions. (GAME: Worlds Apart [+]Loading...["Worlds Apart (video game)"])
The Paradox Cloud turned cabinets in the Master's office on Regnidorch II into an Androzani tree resembling the Wooden King. (GAME: Hidden Mysteries [+]Loading...["Hidden Mysteries (video game)"])
