An Apple Treant is a large, roughly humanoid tree-man of the fruit-bearing variety. While generically calling these “apple treants,” there are actually a sub-species that host other fruits such as oranges, pears, or other varieties. Like other treants, its legs fit together when closed to look like the trunk of a tree, and a motionless one is nearly indistinguishable from a normal tree. An apple treant is about 30 feet tall, with a “trunk” about 2 feet in diameter. It weighs about 4,500 pounds.

During the warmer months, these treants bear fruit which are used as projectiles. This fruit can be hurled at tremendous velocities, causing 1d6 points of damage upon scoring a hit (range 120 feet), destroying the fruit in the process. The apple treant may fire off its fruit even while moving at normal rates to close distance with foes, upon which it attacks like any other treant.

Apple treants speak the language of traditional treants, plus Common and Elvish. Most can also manage a smattering of just about all other humanoid tongues, at least enough to say “Get away from my trees!” Apple treants prefer to watch potential foes carefully before attacking. They often charge suddenly from cover to trample the despoilers of forests, or simply attack with surprise from the side of golden-brick roads.
