You can 'send a tree flying', if you hit it hard enough.

Any such feature would have to wait until multi-tile creatures (or at least moving fort sections,) several years away. We have climbing right now.

It's also not common behavior for a tree. They tend to bend rather than uproot and take off.

I thought we were adding in trees and multi-tile creatures at the same time?

Toady had reasons to prioritize having trees first.

Even if we waited to use the same system, the behavior of a tree is significantly different from most creatures. They have roots into the ground tiles, and can survive bisection. Dwarves should not keep pummeling a stump after they've cut it down. Dwarves who "attack" trees shouldn't think they've been in combat, and all that entails. You lose all sorts of optimizations by treating trees as a creature.

I could go on, but this derail has gone on long enough.
