Why is it masculine?

Árboles is masculine because it derives from Latin "arborem" (accusative of "arbor"), which was a feminine noun in Latin. However, the rule explanation contains a critical error: Spanish actually inherited the masculine gender from the oblique cases (accusative/dative forms like "arborem") rather than the nominative. When Latin nouns were borrowed into Romance languages, many feminine nouns with -em accusative endings shifted to masculine gender. This is not an exception but rather follows the regular pattern of how Latin accusative forms influenced Romance gender assignment.
