I agree "tree-hugger" would be ridiculous.

No one is suggesting that the orcs need to be polite.
But is it not in your power to cook up a less vulgar epithet for the
elves?
You managed it for the dwarves and humans.

It establishes character for the orcs.  They are the kind of beings who 
refer to elves as "tree-shaggers".  Like the other epithets I cooked up
for them to use, it's both vulgar and faintly comical.  

"Tree-hugger" would be merely ridiculous -- makes 'em sound like 
crusty oldsters sneering at a Greenpeace rally.
