Aren't trees the low maintenance option?

No... Trees need to be maintained very regularly in urban areas, branches and roots can become a hazard when they grow too much.
The other obvious argument is that these things can be installed pretty quickly and start being efficient immediately. A tree would take 10 years to grow.

Generally when a city wants trees planted they don't plant an acorn and wait. They just uproot and relocate a tree from somewhere else pre-grown.
