Dear Glenda,
Your (0+spp|tree) random effect requires a 89 x 89 matrix , or 3916 (co)variances to be estimated. You don't have enough data to support that kind of model. Furthermore it will probably require large design matrices and thus lead to the out of memory errors you got. Maybe (1|tree) + (1|spp) is a doable random effects model that is still sensible. This is a cross effect of tree and spp. You even could consider (1|tree) + (1|spp) + (1|tree:spp). (1|tree) = effect of tree regardsless of spp. (1|spp) = effect of spp regardless of tree. (1|tree:spp) = combined effects of tree and spp.
