That fight is very difficult, even at level 37. I happen to be playing chapter 3 too and I just beat them last night but it was really rough and I was actually right about your level give or take 1. I would suggest coming back near the end of chapter 3 when you have more levels/equipment.
Those trees are like the ones in the halls of reflection, not quite as hard but they are tough and there's 4 of them.
The way I beat them, round one I gates of thunder which doesn't hurt the trees much but it wipes out alessia and does some damage to everyone, had sarah enhance random's attack, and cocka started slashing a tree, and wendala put stone barrier on everyone (if you did the weather quest in chapter 2). Then random and cocka kept focus slashing them slowly (they are resistant to everything I think) while sarah and wendy kept using Healing Reagents (65% hp restore) to heal everyone because normal healing spells are too weak.
They might have a weakness to something but I didn't experiment, I just brute forced it.
Edit: also it just occurred to me you could probably help yourself out by using the temporary booster items on random/wendy/cocka before you enter the temple (if you're already in you can exit so they're back in the party). Use random's Hero spell (inflicts legend slayer, huge boost) and all those other temp boosters you have found/bought on your journey like hero creams, dajir herbs, etc.
