Yes, the point at which the tree broke off is the fulcrum and the tree acts as a long lever. The angular velocity of any part of the tree will be same and hence all of the parts of the tree will hit the ground at the same time. The linear velocities will be proportional to the distance from the fulcrum.

You have to think of the tree as a rigid body and apply rigid body mechanic to the problem. This results in the "lever" explanation given above.

It's actually because ALL object fall at the exact same speed due to gravity's natural and constant acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2.
