I don't think the 'giant-tree man' mentioned by Sam is an Ent/wife because:

1. Ents hadn't been concieved.

2. There is a mention of some 'tree-men' in the 'Tale of Earendil' in BoLT 2. So it wasn't simply made up on the spot

I think that the majority of the Entwives though Tolkien mentions in one of his letters that they may have been enslaved by Sauron.
