I've done my best to address the concerns from the answers to my original question about my homebrew dryad sapling race. How does this look?
What I'm looking for is whether this is balanced vs the PHB races and if not, how to fix it to make it balanced.
Race: Dryad Sapling
Statistics:
Age: Dryad Saplings live as long as humans, 80 to 100 years, in Sapling form before planting themselves and becoming bound to their trees. All Dryads and Saplings are tied to natural, non-magical trees. Magical varieties of tree, or Tree-like creatures are not valid choices. A planted Dryad gains all Dryad statistics, retaining all their character levels and abilities, and becomes an NPC under the Dungeon Master's control.
Size: Saplings are Medium creatures, mostly between 5 and 7 feet in height, though Redwood Dryads are between 6 and 8 feet in height. Applewood Dryads are Small, between 3 and 5 feet high.
Speed: 30
Darkvision
Dryad Saplings have a proficiency with Nature skill checks
They are proficient with Clubs and Quarterstaffs, and with Longbows and Shortbows
Treewhispers: Dryad Saplings may understand the whispers of natural trees, but cannot communicate to them. They must spend a full turn and touch the tree to understand what it says, receiving brief impressions, feelings, and images.
Dryad Saplings learn the druidcraft cantrip at first level. At 3rd level, Dryad Saplings may learn either the entangle spell, using Wisdom as their spellcasting ability, and can cast it once per day.
Languages: Dryad Saplings speak Sylvan and Common.
Subraces
Wildforest
This subrace is the most common, and encompasses deciduous and coniferous trees, except Aspens, Redwoods, Sequoias, and cultivated fruit trees.
Wildforest Dryad Saplings gain +2 Wisdom and +1 Charisma.
Proficiency with Whips and Nets
Additional Language: Elven, due to their longstanding contacts with Elves
Aspen
This subrace are all identical clones of each other, differing only in their appearance due to age and personal style. They always plant themselves within their colony of origin, connecting to the vast root system that spawns natural clonal colony aspens, and join the hive-mind of their Rootmother.
Aspen Dryad Saplings gain +2 Intelligence and +1 Constitution
Proficient with Glaives
Redwood
This subrace is larger than the others, and are bonded with Redwood or Sequoia trees. Redwood Dryad Saplings stand up to 8 feet in height, though they are slender and are still of Medium size.
A full Redwood Dryad stands between 25 and 35 feet tall and counts as a Huge creature. (A planted Dryad is always an NPC.)
Ability Score: Redwood Dryads gain +2 Strength and +1 Constitution
Proficient with Mauls
Additional Language: Giant, due to their traditional interbreeding with Giants
Applewood
This subrace is small in stature, and are bonded with cultivated fruit trees. They stand between 3 and 5 feet tall, and count as Small creatures, both as Saplings and as full Dryads.
Applewood Dryads gain +2 Dexterity and +1 Charisma
Proficient with Daggers and Shortswords
Additional Language: Gnomish or Halfling due to their associations with these races
