The connection between the lulav and tree of life is further strengthened in that the full gematria value of the 4 species together is (610+277+68+69) = 1024 and 1024 is 32 squared.  R’Chaim Vittal of blessed memory tells us that all Torah light is spread by squaring, and that there are 32 connections within the 10 sefirot (dimensions) and the 3-column structure of the tree-of-life, forming the 32 Paths of Wisdom.  And not by coincidence, there are 1024 different word values in the entire Torah.
