The idiomatic rspec way would be to use a let statement for tree here. Generally speaking, let statements are preferred over local variables.

I kinda like local variables. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Extracting the repetition of tree = Tree.new is nice, but the clarity of the local variable has some benefit too.
| tree = Tree.new | ||
| tree.add_apples | ||
| expect(tree.apples).to_not eq [] | ||
| end |

For a lot of these tests, you might do some thinking about what the subject of the test really is. Here, for instance, the subject is really the add_apples method, rather than the Tree class itself. So using a nested describe block would be a good way to represent that.
Also, think about whether this is the right test. Sometimes you might want to call add_apples on a tree that already had apples, in which case the fact that tree.apples is not empty is pretty meaningless.

@apples.empty? would work too, and it a bit more readable IMO.
