If that's the only thing you're using unbuffer for, why not just use
the -C option of tree? It's a bit like the "--color=always" of ls.

Similarly dmesg has "--color=always".

I guess one advantage of unbuffer for this purpose is that you don't
need for an option to exist or to know what it is if it does.
