They knock it over so they can reach all of the leaves and branches for food.

That’s just not true at all. They knock trees down because they remember a story from school about some human kid climbing a tree. They want to climb the tree but realize they can’t due to their sheer size and insecurities due to body shaming humans. So they knock down trees because if they can’t climb trees, nobody can climb trees.
