The most interesting part of this feature is the tool-using killer tree. Preternaturally strong, wicked-fast and covered with (probably toxic) barbs the plant decides that isn't enough in the arsenal and figures it still requires something pointed to practice the overkill skills on. As noted previously, the Fiction House Universe is an angry and hungry Universe.
That's like arming a tiger with a sword. Then again, elephants have been known to pack some heat on occasion.

You're assuming the broken-off pointed objects were intended as weapons. But would a tree creature necessarily think that?
