Interesting theory, but the idea that because Entwives like things orderly and therefore tree-ish seems, well, odd.
I'm thinking on very general terms of gender stereotypes. How many females (big example, moms) who like things to be orderly just sit around? I know that to get something in order whether home, business or anything takes alot of time, effort and energy, so I don't see the Entwives as just standing around being tree-ish expecting the land to become ordered.
And in this instance, why do you think that Ents are hastier?

excellent point

... I suppose this is my reasoning ents let things grow wild which I connected with them being wild and order being associated with solemn calm...Perhaps I lookked at this from the wrong angle... You are right to keep things orderly one would have to be more active....
