Well from the way I understand things the word "tree" means the cross was made from would. Back then they reused crosses over and over so they were dirty and covered with blood and flesh from previous victims. They would force people to carry the portion that represented "T" or a better way to explain this would be that part where there arms and hands would go. The other portion that goes north and south was connected later either while they were lying down or by roman soldiers using their spears to hoist up the crucified person. But Jesus was forced to carry an entire cross which was made from a tree.
