I really can’t remember anything the Ring directly OFFERED to Its bearers. It simply kindled their deepest desires, the will to achieve what they wanted (by ways the Ring chose for them). So IMHO with an Ent / or Ents It would probably have set them chasing their Entwives coming ever closer to Mordor or any place where they could be intercepted.

BTW, wasn’t Gandalf himself then ensnared by the Ring, as it was his idea to send the Company east? The pattern seems the same – the uttermost desire to save the world, but in the direction most convenient for the Ring and Its Master.
