Israel was told to exterminate every vestige of paganism as they took dominion of Canaan. I'm sure there were dupes and dupettes saying "Oh hey these Canaanite rituals can be redeemed, we'll just make a few modifications and do them unto YHVH instead of Baal" but they were in the category of Balaam and Jezebel, not Caleb and Joshua.
And those rites became a snare to the people.

Furthermore, Jeremiah was speaking of carving idols from cut trees, not decorating a tree . There is nothing in the Bible that outlaws decorating plants.
