Ranked by relevance and common usage.
Keep "treeness" when the sentence already sounds natural, when a synonym would add unintended emphasis, or when readers need the most familiar wording. A synonym should clarify or sharpen the message, not simply make the sentence look more varied.
If two options seem close, choose the one that best matches the audience and purpose of the sentence.
Choose a synonym only if it keeps the core idea of "treeness" intact in the sentence you are editing.
Check whether the replacement sounds more formal, casual, emotional, technical, or forceful than the original word.
Read the full sentence after the swap. Keep the synonym only when the sentence becomes clearer or more precise.
Review note: Synonym lists are ranked with lexical data and reviewed for practical writing value. Use the comparison notes, sentence evidence, and source labels together; a high-ranking synonym can still be wrong when the audience, register, or grammar changes.
After choosing a replacement for "treeness", read the sentence once for meaning and once for rhythm. The best synonym should feel natural in the full sentence, not only accurate in a word list.
If the synonym makes the sentence slower, vaguer, or more dramatic than intended, keep "treeness" or choose a simpler alternative from the closest-match group.

A tree may, for the imagination, present forcibly one of its qualities at a time; it may be a green dome of shade on a hot day, a ladder of retreat for a man from the attentions of a mad bull, a peg on which an apple hangs, a screen for an assassin, a choir for birds; and its own business of spreading out its million pores to the air and propagating its kind, which comes nearest to being its “treeness,” may be what occupies the artist least and bores him most.

A word represents the entity but not THE entity itself. "tree" is not a tree, you can call it "ca^y" or whatever but the conceptual meaning of treeness stays the same.

Let us say that the pigeons learned to recognize treeness, in the sense that they quickly enough learned to differentiate whatever exemplified treeness from whatever did not.

If factors that contribute to a tree-like pattern of the variance–covariance matrix dominate the evolutionary picture over those that tend to destroy it, one can expect treeness to be reasonably high. Only if this is true, reconstruction of the evolutionary process by tree analysis and a tree representation for descriptive purposes can be useful.
