I don't have any of my favorite tree names on here. :(
Honestly, the only ones I like from the boys list are Rowan and Eoghan (which I wouldn't pair together).
The girls list is a little more promising with Elowen, Pomona, Kalina, Kiri, and Elah, though I wouldn't be able to make six siblings from them.
If I could take artistic license with middle names, but still use tree names, I would have:
Elowen Magnolia
Eoghan Birch
Rowan Oak
Pomona Willow
Kalina Maple
Elah Aspen

Taimi - so cute!
Thoughts on the rest:
Linden - usually I don't mind "feminine" names on boys, but Linden sounds like a girl's name to me
Elwood - sounds mumbley
Kiefer - reminds of 'kasier' and 'heifer'
Alon - sounds like 'Alan' which is boring, or a word you would use similarly to "alas!"
Melia - another mumbley one
Kalina - sounds like something someone would name a character they want to be sexy and edgy
Ornella - I'm on the fence with this one... it's kind of nice but also reminscint of 'ornery'
Pomona - have always thought this is a bit awkward to say
Jela - I think I'm inexplicably biased againt girl 'J' names
Tamar - also a bit awkard for me to say
Randa - generally good to avoid anything that sounds like "randy", I think
Jelena - see previous 'J' comment
