I found it in the 1958 collection, The Best From Fantasy and Science Fiction, Seventh Series, edited by Anthony Boucher. It was definitely in the spirit of the kind of story Avatar was trying to tell only did it so much better.

The world trees are sort of networked with a chemical consciousness. The people from the militant right-wing macho planet want to kill all the trees so they can raise Great Russels: huge carnivores required for their coming-of-age manhood rites.

There was a story tickling at the back of my subconscious that dealt with the networks, but I just couldn't pull it out and you've done so. Thanks! Nyrath,
