alley trees


Explanation:
I'm pretty sure they mean 'allétræer', i.e. trees which line an alley or boulevard. It's not a specific type of tree.

tree-lined avenues


Explanation:
I think that tree-lined avenues ("hedges and tree-lined avenues") is a more natural way of expressing this in English.

"Avenue trees" is also used, but is not as common as far as I know (the majority of googles for this seemed to originate from India).

neutral  Michele Fauble: I agree that 'avenue trees' is not very common, but since the field is botany, the emphasis might be more on the trees.
