Yes, you can use the phrase "tree lover" to express that you love trees. Another phrase that is common to use is "tree hugger". A "tree hugger" refers to a person who is passionate about saving the environment, and this includes loving trees. This phrase is more general and "tree lover" is more specific in referring to loving just trees. Ex: I am a tree lover. I have planted ten different trees around my house. Ex: There's a lot of tree huggers who care about the environment in my neighborhood.
