A theme of time, as mentioned above, might lead you to describe the tree as “ancient”, or “a young sapling,” or “bent like grandmother’s back.” A different theme, such as young love, might lead you to describe it as “a meeting place of lovers,” or “swaying gently like a lady’s hips.”
Instead of being a burden or extra consideration, a theme can work with you and serve as your guide.
And remember, you shouldn’t overthink (or overdo) a theme. Plenty of writers don’t even know their story’s theme until after they’ve written their first draft.
