Well the Ents could be considered Evil Trees to some extent. Their main purpose was to kill dwarfs and men was it not? They were made to stop people cutting down trees, but 15 [sic?] foot walking super strong super fast giants that are pretty much invincible to arms are hardly going to be made for talking sense into people are they? They are more the militia of the woods than tree hugging hippies. And Melkor did not touch them. So maybe OMW is just a slightly more extremist Ent.

But I would apply the rules you have to apply to Tom. He was made up outside of the entish tradition, he was made up before ents and huorns. He, like Tom, existed outside ME, and was inserted into it, and didn't exactly fit in perfectly.
