I presume you are writing the title to a chart or similar, because they are not complete sentences. If I am right, you could write : "Number of deaths from lightning strikes to trees". My title may be too general, if you are dealing with victims who were actually under a tree at the time (not beside or near etc).

- In this case, it has to be longer, such as : "Number of people killed by lightning while under trees" Your number 2.
- would be OK if you said "lightning-related".
