Question
IF DROPPING FROM A STAKED TREE IS IT ONE CLUB LENGTH FROM THE BALL OR FROM THE STAKED TREE

Answer
Dear Gordon, thanks for the question.  In a word, the ball. You would be allowed the nearest point of relief, the length of your longest club from the current lie of your ball, and no closer to the hole.  Good luck, thanks again and remember...

Love the game
