    Suddenly she turns and asks me how do the Ents procreate (she hasn't read the books so she thought I'd know).

    Needless to say I was stumped and just make a joke at that time. But it got me thinking, that how do the Ents make babies?
    There are many actual plants which produce sexually - the Ents make Gardens for the Entwives, so I presume that when they are together they both come into bloom and then shake each other's leaves.

    Or something.

    Most flowering plants are into third-party or group sex with other species.

    Face it, plants are kinky and weird.

    Plants are different from trees though. They stole half of my nickname with their pollinator

    I'm pretty sure trees are a kind of plant, in much the same way that lemurs are a kind of mammal.

    Who knows, maybe Merry and Pippin are covered with Ent pollen.

    The same way the Ainur procreate: singing/old entish. Hit the right note and it knocks up every Ent-wife within earshot.

    Aww yeah.
