It is one thing to know than your trees may eat anyone stupid enough to wander inside the forest anf fall asleep -that's what the walls around the forrest are for. If someone goes in anyway and dies, well, so sad, circle of life, etc, etc.Yes, the dryad as a biomod sounds like a much better idea. Even if this "floating tree" doesn't work (a floating tree sounds "unnatural" for a dryad), maybe her dependency on the tree can be relaxed so she can leave it for a few hours...
But allowing someone to remain prisioner in one of your creations is an order of magnitude worse. The driad idea souds cool, but only as something a fen would be willing to do.
An idea: Druid A, some girl obsessed with trees/flowers/whatever, gets accidentally biomoded into a driad. Scientists in Marduk try to get herout, but have no luck (eventually they manage to turn the tree and the soil were it grows into a miniature Unreal State than moves floating). Meanwhile, Druid B, her boyfriend/husband, decides to join her, and tries to biomod himself into another driad.
The end result is the Ent.

I hope they're very happy.

And the chocolate bacon trees. [grin]
Got to give reasons for people to sneak into those woods...
I wonder if the bacon/chocolate trees will bear seeds. If yes they might become a common sight in larger settlements to add more variance to the locally produce food (as long as the 'fruits' are reasonable Handwavium free).
