Strategy
Treant Protector has the highest base damage in the game at level 1. So make use of it to harass enemy heroes and deny creeps.
Look for angles to cut off opponents with Nature's Grasp. Make sure to catch a tree in its path to do extra damage with the spell.
Leech Seed continues healing even after the unit it was used on dies.
Look around the map to heal and save allies and buildings with Living Armor.
Treant Protector is great at defending towers safely with Nature's Grasp and Living Armor. Leech Seed with the Sapling facet is also great at clearing creep waves.
Don't rush with Overgrowth in the fights, as opponents are likely to have multiple ways to dispel it at the start.
Treant Protector is amazing at split pushing without even showing himself. Look to push out side lanes and soak XP at dangerous places on the map even if it costs you your life on occasion.
Pick up 
Aghanim's Shard around minute 15 to become invisible near trees and use it to place vision around the map and split push lanes.
Aghanim's Scepter will win a vision game for your team in the late game.
With your Aghanim's Shard, you can use Nature's Grasp to connect between Tree Lines and stay invisible.
With the Sapling facet, Leech Seed provides a natural way of planting a tree in the middle of teamfights or creep waves to connect Nature's Grasp for the extra damage.
Counter Strategy
Use your 
Quelling Blade non-stop on the trees where you expect Treant Protector to approach from and make his passive ability less useful to operate around the lane effectively.
Consider buying 
Boots of Speed on some supports because in most cases you cannot trade effectively with Treant Protector due to him having the highest attack damage at level 1.
Take towers down in one go so Treant Protector can't heal them with Living Armor.
Be aware of Treant Protector's 
Meteor Hammer timing if he is gearing up towards the item. He becomes good at split pushing.
Treant Protector becomes invisible with his
Aghanim's Shard upgrade. Carry detection on multiple heroes.
Observer and Sentry Wards at the outer jungles of the map are great at stopping Treant Protector from split pushing.
Items that apply dispel on you are great against Treant Protector's Overgrowth and Leech Seed.
Once Treant Protector gets
Aghanim's Scepter, consider getting a 
Gem of True Sight and cut Eyes in the Forest trees with a
Quelling Blade or spells.
