Trees aren't carbon capture, no plants are. They rot and decay releasing the carbon they supposedly captured.
Any carbon we capture has to be removed from the carbon cycle some how. I'm not sure you can use the carbon cycle to separate carbon from that cycle. You could grow the trees, then kiln them of all bacteria, then bury that sterilised mass in a sterile hole. But, first prove you didn't just create more carbon than you captured.
I am however, completely uneducated, the above is a carbon capture for infants. Listen to anyone more versed in the subject than I.
