I have to tell you that on my last game, I got very lucky. I was out giving Talrik his hook when I got attacked by 3 living trees. I was shocked and surprised. I, of course, proceded to dispatch them and collect my seeds. It looks like you do not HAVE to tree surf to get the seeds, but if you keep wandering it may take you as long for them to spawn.
For those of you thinking about going through a second time, I have found that tree seeds are not reset like other quest items. In my current game, I have collected enough tree seeds to complete the quest and left them with my mule in the Inn. If I am lucky, I will still have them when I need them, but if not, I will either wander around Talrick's area or go tree surfing.
