-d: list directory entries instead of contents, and do not dereference symbolic links
to include hidden dirs use:
tree -adL 1
(with ls, requires 'ls -ad */ .*/')
the advantage to doing it this way is that you can adjust the max depth to get more recursive results and run it on non GNU systems. It also won't print trailing slashes, which can easily be removed, but can be slightly annoying.. You could run: # for file in `find * -maxdepth 0 -type d`;do ls -d $file;done and in the ls -d part of the command you can put in whatever parameters you want to get things like permissions, time stamps, and ownership.
