you need to configure SecureCRT to do UTF, its probably using a ISO8559 
type 8 bit encoding.   this combination of settings works for me...

on the terminal->emulation, set Terminal to either Linux or Xterm, and 
uncheck alternate keyboard emulation.
on the terminal->appearance, set a font that has unicode, like Lucida 
Console, or Consolas.  do NOT use the vt100 family fonts.

now log out, and log back into the target system, and I bet 'tree' works.

re: those who say to use putty, while putty is free,  SecureCRT has a 
lot of worthwhile features, I've been using it for years.
