Dorothy's reluctance to engage them is your blessing. You'll be the first person on record to notch a "W" against one of these actually quite proud creatures.
Step One: Wait safely behind a regular tree for your tree-opponent to stop throwing apples. Then, toss your hat (note: you will need a hat for this fight) out into the open. If the hat is suddenly pummeled with apples, you'll know the tree was only pretending to be out of apples. Throw another hat (note: you will need a back-up hat for this fight) out, and repeat until no apples follow.
Step Two: At this point step out from behind your hidey-tree, approach the tree you're fighting, then kick it right square in its tree-creature eye. Kick it again, in the eye. Avoid the creature's mouth as this is its last line of defense. Continue kicking its eyeball until the tree dies or verbally submits. Losing interest in this fight? Feel free to mix things up, by kicking the other eyeball for a time.
Bonus: At some point pick up one of the tree's discarded apples and take a delicious bite out of it. Say something obnoxious like "Mmm... Y'know I don't even really like apples.. but thanks." Or "Hey jerk, thanks for all the help 'keeping the doctor away,' I appreciate it." If he doesn't get the reference and asks what you're talking about, DO NOT EXPLAIN THE JOKE. You've missed your moment, just go back to kicking it to death.
