I’m trying to resolve an argument.
EDIT: Yes, you can. But you can’t digest it. The only edible parts of a tree are some specific types of tree bark. Thanks, everyone!

I just got started testing Google Bard, so I fed this question to it and got this reply:
So what you are saying is, we just need to put wood and beaver enzymes in a blender…
Bard says “we” cannot eat wood… OK Bard, then try a Cheeseburger.
What about those dried wood snacks?
I have never heard of this and I can’t find anything online.
Got a link?

Ohh, so it seems like bark is edible but wood isn’t. Definitely chimes with other answers above.
I think our dude’s been eating potpouri.
Bard is wrong. Look at any vitamin/supplement type pill bottle. Cellulose is listed in almost every one.
I looked up cellulose and it does say that it is used in some drugs and other consumables yeah, but it’s still indigestible, so it wouldn’t give you any nutrients to survive if eaten by itself, I guess.
