A tree that has fallen is said to "lie" on the ground. The verb "lie" refers to the position of the tree itself, while "lay" typically requires a subject that performs the action of placing something down, such as a person laying a branch on the ground. Therefore, it is correct to say that a tree lies on the ground after it has fallen.
