From a Lantern article last year:

thelantern.2005/03/29

"The Buckeye grove was actually started back in the '30s with the idea that a tree would be planted for each All-American football player," said Bill Wahl, an Ohio State historian.

Associate Director of Athletics Bill Myles said there are six or seven All-American lists decided by different associations including The Associated Press and the American Football Coaches Association. If a player makes the majority of those lists, they are given a tree, he said.
