The root system of many tree species is as large or larger than the canopy of leaves. Where are those roots supposed to be? Did you add an additional 20 get below each floor for them to dig into?
Far more likely, the architect either didn't account for the invisible part of the tree, or knows what will actually happen: these trees will live a decade at most.
The trees on the 30th floor will never have a thick trunk, because they will die and be replaced every 5 to 10 years with new saplings.

Many of the trees in architecture visualizations are like Minecraft trees. The have no roots at all. Only the aboveground portion of the tree even exists.
