I would first like to apologize if I am in the incorrect form, I have used this site for research and posted very little. This is more of a question regarding the interaction between Glissa Sunseeker and Tree of Tales, rather than a discourse on the rules.
If your Glissa is targeting a Tree of Tales you control, can your respond by adding tapping and adding mana from Tree of Tales?
Questions on rulings should be posted in the Magic Rulings forums, regardless of the format. This subforum is for discussing Commander format rules (such as the banned list).
To answer the question, yes you can. However, if you do so the Tree of Tales will not be destroyed. Glissa Sunseeker's ability checks how much mana is in your mana pool when the ability resolves, and will destroy the artifact if it's CMC is equal to that amount.
The cost of an artifact is not a targeting requirement, so you can activate her targeting any artifact, regardless of how much mana is in your pool at that time.
I am curious as to what scenario prompted this particular question.

I am building a Glissa Sunseeker commander deck, I was hoping to exploit Tree of Tales by destroying it with Glissa's tap ability and recurring it with Salvaging Station.
