Hello, so you're going to need to use a trigger, but it's pretty simple.

Step 1: Copy and paste an existing ability that targets an area. Silence comes to mind.
Step 2: Set it's Targets Allowed field to None, we don't want it to actually do anything since our trigger will handle all of that.
Step 3: Create a new trigger in the Trigger Editor and set it up like this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Resurrect Trees
• Actions
  • Destructible - Pick every destructible within 300.00 of (Target point of ability being cast) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Destructible - Resurrect (Picked destructible) with (Max life of (Picked destructible)) life and Show birth animation

This will resurrect any destructible it finds within a 300 radius of your cast point. You should change this value to match the Area of Effect of your Silence ability so the visuals match up.

If you want it to only work for certain trees then you need to filter the picked destructibles by using an If Then Else action:

• Destructible - Pick every destructible within 300.00 of (Target point of ability being cast) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Destructible-type of (Picked destructible)) Equal to Summer Tree Wall
      • Then - Actions
        • Destructible - Resurrect (Picked destructible) with (Max life of (Picked destructible)) life and Show birth animation
      • Else - Actions

This will also help prevent things like Barrels from being resurrected, if that's even possible.
