Unless the tree burns down you realize that it incorporates the CO2 in its structure right?

Most trees die at a certain age (or due to other factors). By default this leads to the tree falling over and starting to decompose, a process which releases most of the CO2 formerly stored in that tree.

The obvious solution is to plant an entire forest to ensure that new trees grow to replace old trees.
