That's a nice first post! Thanks for the contribution (it will be added to the next release) and welcome to the forums!
Because that doesn't fit the lore. I am not sure either, but all the legends of the hoop snake agree that it attacks as a hoop, and runs away like a snake. Many of the tales say that the only way to evade the attack is to get behind a tree, causing the hoop snake to bury the stinger in the wood, allowing you to get away while it works itself loose. Oh, and the tree dies instantly.

An Apple Treant is a large, roughly humanoid tree-man of the fruit-bearing variety. While generically calling these “apple treants” there are actually 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 with tremendous velocities causing 1d6 damage upon scoring a hit (range of 120 feet), destroying the fruit in the process. The apple treant may fire off the 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 also can manage a smattering of just about all other humanoid tongues, at least enough to say “Get away from my trees!” 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.
