How to Unlock Weapon Trees
Obtain the Weapon's Key Material
There are several unknown weapons at the beginning of Monster Hunter games, with Rise locking them behind question marks. To unlock them, you have to obtain key materials which are the core to creating and upgrading weapons. Key materials are generally monster parts, but some weapons require gathering items like the Speartuna or Pawprint Stamp.

Hunt Monsters to Unlock Weapon Trees
Most weapons are unlocked by getting materials from the desired monster after hunting them. For example, hunting a Magnamalo for its materials unlocks Magnamalo weapons, and hunting its High Rank version unlocks the HIgh Rank upgrades. Some weapon upgrades may require materials from other monsters, so progressing through the game is needed.

Some weapons, such as the Death Stench and Aelucanth trees, have to be unlocked by getting the key items from the Meowcenaries or the Argosy. The Meowcenaries also have High Rank materials for their respective upgrades.
Progress Through the Game
Progressing through the game is necessary to unlock more of the weapon trees. You'll get to hunt new monsters and access new locales which will make more materials available for stronger weapon upgrades.
Reach the High Rank Endgame for the Final Rarity 7 Weapons
Reaching High Rank and Master Rank opens up materials for the final Rarity 7 weapons in Rise and Rarity 10 weapons in Sunbreak. These powerful weapons require defeating endgame monsters like Elder Dragons, but it's worth the effort. Note that not all weapon trees in High Rank have a Rarity 7 upgrade!
