But I faced with a big problem when trees are on the right hand side just next to tee box….ball went there and….I won’t like to know how to hit a straighter shot???
Sounds like you 'may' be tracing a curved line, more of an arc, using a plane that is fairly flat.

As a drill, for a curved plane line, try a hitting pattern with a straight baseline. Right now due to the flatter plane, your hands are potentially moving too 'around'. Use a right forearm pickup, and a level right wrist. Imagine a line that is drawn from where your hands are at the 'top' of your motion, to a spot on the ground in front of the ball.

One of the better drills for this is to make practice swings with your back to a wall. It forces you to feel a more upright plane - just be sure to keep your flying wedges in place.

Watch Byron Nelson's motion to get a good example of a pattern to visualize that should help you narrow your range of ball motion from right to left.
