Plot summary
Gohan, Krillin, Bulma and Oolong are camping when a forest fire breaks out. Gohan and Krillin douse the flames, then call on the Dragon Balls to bring back the woodland and the creatures lost in the blaze, and Gohan makes friends with a small dragon he calls Icarus. A probe from Turles, a Saiyan space pirate who looks much like Goku, set the fire. Turles has chosen Earth as the place to plant the Tree of Might, which pulls the life out of a world and converts it into fruit; eating that fruit gives a huge boost in strength. King Kai warns Goku by telepathy, and Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu try to blast the tree apart but cannot. The henchmen attack and overpower them, while water disappears and plants and animals die.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Dragon Ball Z: Tree of Might (1990)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Ron Wasserman composed the score for the 1997 Saban TV version of the film, though it was credited to Kussa Mahehi and Shuki Levy for contractual reasons, and its background music and "Rock the Dragon" opening theme were recycled from his earlier Saiyan and Namek Saga dub soundtrack.
- Funimation's first dub of the film, made in association with Saban Entertainment and Ocean, cut out all the blood and toned down the violence so hard punches and kicks were covered by flashes of light, and added scenes from the Dragon Ball Z series to stretch the film into a three-part TV episode.
SPOILER
To hide Gohan's nudity after he reverts from his Great Ape form in the edited dub, the film added extended lighting to the scene where Goku catches him and put a digital bush in front of him.
