There are two methods you could use to do this. The first would be to make a procedural material. The wood texture on your tree would be generated as it is being rendered. The geometry node would be handy for this:
Red varies with x, green with y, and blue with z. You can use this to generate various textures:
The second way to do it would be to convert the curve into a mesh. Select your curve and press alt+c to do so:
You can then proceed to unwrap it like a regular mesh, then apply a wood texture to it:
Hope this helps, and good luck with your project!
