Although most allée's have trees lining both left and right sides, the  
tagging should provide for those instances where trees are only on one  
side of the street. Therefore, we might want:

   tree_lined=right
   tree_lined=left
   tree_lined=yes (meaning both left & right)

This is a bit different though, from cycle tracks, that are often  
tagged e.g.

   bicycle:right = track
   bicycle:left = lane

so perhaps it would make sense to stay within that nomenclature. That  
implies something like:

   trees:right = lined
   trees:left = lined
   trees=yes

It might also be of interest to specify the number of trees, in which  
case you might imagine:

trees:right = 29

Just some food for thought :-)
