A few things to check:

1. Convert all Spot colors to process (spot colors and raster effects (such as transparency) do not play well together)
2. Check Overprint on the tree, both with the Select and Direction tool in InDesign and Illustrator (turn it off)
3. Does the artwork really need to be transparent or are you using Transparency to lighten it? Using Transparency is problematic in printing; don’t use it unless you have to.
4. If you are exporting to PDF, use PDF/X-1a
