I also run into this problem. Laravel will follow the convention for naming the parameter.

For example your model is

AwesomeCategory

Then auto-generated edit method in AwesomeCategoryController will look like this

Change to

public function edit(AwesomeCategory $awesomecategory) // This will be automatically loaded with all attributes

Try to change the action call to this:

public function show(Tree $category)

Update: I looked in the source and you can also change the parameters name in resource Route declaration:

Route::resource('categories', 'CategoryController', ['parameters'=>['categories'=>'tree']]);

And use the $tree variable in action call

public function show(Tree $tree)
