On my system:

$ cygcheck -f $(which tree)
tree-1.5.0-EL-1

This (the EL part) means it came from Eric Lassauge's site.  See
http://lassauge.free.fr/cygwin/release/

Try adding http://lassauge.free.fr/cygwin/ in setup as a custom 
download site in order to pick up Eric's packages.  I think you'll 
need to run setup with the --no-verify option to use it.
