Why is it feminine?

Árvore is feminine because it derives from Latin "arbor," which was a feminine noun in Latin (following the third-declension pattern), and Portuguese retained this grammatical gender from its Romance language origins. There's no phonetic rule that makes it obviously feminine in modern Portuguese—it's simply an inheritance from Latin's grammatical system.
