Trees, for one, have evolved convergently several times. You could arguably include those giant early fungus, too. Given land, trees will follow.

Land mostly requires that your planet doesn't have too much water. Plate tectonics helps, but I'm not sure it's required.

They evolved here. The whole question is how much their existence depends on Earth's specific environment, genetics, etc.
