My first language is Japanese.

Are the both sentences correct in grammer??

You would normally say "All three candidates" or "All three of the candidates".

Neither one sounds right. "All three candidates" is best. "All OF THE three candidates" sounds a little off, but "all THE three candidates" is definitely awkward and would not be used by people with good grammar. The most common ways to say it are as follows:
all three candidates
all three of the candidates
the three candidates all.... (needs a verb next)
e.g. The three candidates all ran for the same position.

The correct _grammar_ would be:
"all three candidates"
(used for 3/3 people)
"all three of the candidates"
(used for 3/3 people, 3/4, 3/5, 3/6, ... 3/1000 people, etc.)

all three candidates. is correct grammar. A tree is a plant.

well, neither of them have a verb and the 2nd one doesn't make much sense because what is a tree candidate?
I would say ,"All three candidates spoke to the crowd."

It should be "All three candidates". Neither of the two options you give would be used by a native speaker.

yes, they are correct, three is a number (3) and tree is a tree(like in the ground, with branches and leaves, and birds)
