Good point! I'm on the same page of understanding "trees on buildngs" to mean general greenery.
Your comment did get me thinking: It would be cool if we could find a way to direct tree roots. Like how in yards if a tree root breaks into the water lines, they'll fill that space since it is clear and full of nutrients. It's bad for the pipes, but if done purposefully could maybe help mitigate the damage caused by large tree root systems.
