"Jump out of a tree" or "Jump off a tree"?
Which one is correct? So far, I thought it was "jump off a tree", but I've recently come across the other version.

They are both OK and mean the same thing.
To jump out is to jump from inside something.
To jump off is to jump from on something.
With a tree, it's the same thing. (as being on a tree branch is also being in a tree)
If it was a building:
To jump out of a building = jump from a window
To jump off a building = jump from a ledge (maybe window ledge) or from the roof
Another example of when it's the same:
Jump [out of / off] a train.
Because if you are IN a train you are also ON a train. If it's from the roof (or some other exterior) of the train, you can only use "off".
