@aleksander3,

232,374,405,323

(232billion 374million 405 thousand 3 hundred and twenty three.)

That figure was correct as at 1.52pm GMT Sunday 19th October 2014.

@Lordyaswas,
Not even close, Lordy.

At this moment on earth, there are around 61 trees per person, which makes a bit more than 400 billion trees.

If one counts an average of 50 years for a tree lifespan, it would make around 300 billion of billions of trees having lived during 380 million years.

@timur,
I think Lordy misread the question and answered as though the question was "How many individual varieties."

@roger,
Well, that case is even worse.

Depending on sources, it's estimated that there are 20 000 to 100 000 different species of trees.

Not counting irony tree, obviously..
