There are several ghost trees and all of them are in some way integrated in Caleb's cards! Here is an X-Post about the 5 sacred "ghost" trees and their connections to Caleb.

What if this image with the bridge was never supposed to be about a 6th Love Interest?

Caleb always references birds, cages, the desire for freedom

In the beach banner one ending had a duck floatie. I think he also mentioned swallows somewhere, birds in general and doves.

A friend of mine pointed out the mythological Fenghuang bird, so what if Caleb might be the bird, and MC the white snake? Meaning both would be natural enemies able to destroy each other. (staying in theme here)

Caged Wings is also one of Caleb's daily sets and was added with the Tomorrow's Catch-22!

Another name of this creature is also "Chinese Phoenix"

MC as the White Snake

Yeah I've been thinking that MC might be the white snake. In the legend it is also a female. And that first image might be a sci fi version of MC's nightmare where calebs life energy is being sucked in a jungle by vines

The Nightmare:

My friend also found this while looking up what the meaning of apple tree blossoms were in chinese symbolism!

... they are asscociated with a certain goddess apparently:

Queen Mother of the West

The Queen Mother of the West, known by various local names, is a mother goddess in Chinese religion and mythology, also worshipped later in neighbouring countries. She is attested from ancient times. She has numerous titles, one being Yaochi Jinmu (瑤池金母, the "Golden Mother of the Jade Pond (瑤池)" (also translated "Turquoise Pond")) In Chinese salvationist religions, she is believed to be the same being as their main deity, Wusheng Laomu (Chinese: 無生老母; lit. 'birthless old mother', also known as Wujimu (無極母; lit. 'infinite mother'). The title, Wujimu, signifies the absolute principle of reality, or the creational origin of all things.) After her integration into the Taoist pantheon, she gradually took on associations with other aspects, such as immortality, as well as being the god of stars, directions, profit, and the sun and moon. The Queen Mother of the West is widely known for serving peaches to her guests, which would then make them immortal. She normally wears a distinctive headdress with the Peaches of Immortality suspended from it. Her husband also... is King of "Trees/Wood"

Caleb is associated with Trees and Wood a lot.

Peaches

Regarding the peaches of the Queen Mother I looked up if anything peach related was near MC or ever mentioned at all and found this reddit post.
