Entish procreation

[Secura]

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?

I see what you did there!

I always thought that Ents procreated through pollinating, which leads one to wonder what would have been asked of Merry and Pippin; had there been female Ents around, a Hobbit pollinator would surely have been better than a mere insect or bird.

There are some disturbing implications for what it means to be covered in tree pollen.

I'm done here, I'll get my coat.

Personally I've been thinking about something a lot more exotic, like an Ent and an Entwife standing in the the field like two tree with their roots twining below the ground, and out pops an Enting from the ground. A lot more poetic.
But I re-read Tolkien's description, and he states that the figure was more human/troll like than a tree. Covered in bark that might have well been his raiment instead of his skin.
The image of a walking tree I think comes from the movies rather than the book.

I was expecting a barrage of rotten fruit and shoes but thank you

Gah! I misread the title being: "English procreation".

Well I'm pretty sure the twining and various forms of pollen are common.

So did I.
