Indeed! He loved trees.

What about Gamling?

But we should also take into consideration that how old Tolkien would be.

A young Tolkien would do for any Gondorian minor character. Dúilin or Derufin? Some other lord? I'd prefer to see young Tolkien (though maybe older one than in the picture) as Beregond.
