"Each synthetic tree would cost $30,000 dollars to build."

I bet you could buy a whole acre of forest for that. Best part is, you don't have to perform maintenance or anything on an acre of forest.

At the same time, they're 1000 times faster. Can a tree be planted for $30?

Last time I checked, yes.

Around $6 a tree, and lets say the remaining $24 goes to some middle school kid to plant it for you.
