Um, I am fairly sure that there was not a period of carnivorous trees in
1635. At least, I hope not.

They've featured in a number of SF stories.

Hmm, the Whomping Willow didn't actually ever eat the people it
killed, did it? (And yes, I know we never saw a death, but it wasn't
pulling any punches, there must have been some along the way..)

One of the many changes in the 1939 movie is that the Fighting Trees are
aade little more than a comic interlude. In the book, they’re a sentry
corps, and if the Tin Woodman hadn’t been there, Dorothy’s party would
have had to walk around the entire forest. Could they be
anthropophagous? I don’t know.

Old Man Willow in the Old Forest.

In Graydon Saunders "Commonweal" series you have eel trees that
will try to eat you. There is also screaming buttweed, a ground
cover that overcomes it's victims through phychic attaacks so
that the die and provide fertilizer. Plus various other plants
intended to be weapons. (It's a vicious ecology anywhere people
aren't actively suppressing inimical plants, animals, and
insects.)
