I agree with Lore Master, in fact Tolkien didn't conceive of Ents, he said they just sort of appeared in the Two Towers(take that however you like), therefore he could not have been thinking about them while writing the Fellowship. Still, my friend and I thought for a while that the entwives were in the Shire as well...maybe in his subconscious Tolkien was writing about entwives, he just didn't know it...
