treed
Stuck on branches
Treed describes something forced up into a tree, typically by a pursuer: The dogs treed a raccoon.
Hunting dogs that chase prey into trees are valued for this ability.
Figuratively, treed means cornered or trapped with no escape: The journalists had him treed with their questions.
