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![]()
