Think about it. Tree that eats corpses/meat is approached by handy, large, helpless wall of alive meat. A feast!
Also, backstory-wise, it kinda answers the question of 'Why is there tree that digests meat?'
Answer: Harbinger trees form a natural barrier against flesh-mass!
My head-cannon is the trees are designed to stop the advancing flesh--latching on and beginning to digest every part they can reach, and the Harbinger trees 'anesthetize' the sections they touch so the flesh-anomaly doesn't react to the Harbinger tree threat.

Looking forward to feedback/thoughts about this one. Thanks!
