Trees follow a slow-fast-slow pattern for capturing carbon. Small new trees don't capture much. Middle-aged trees capture a lot as they grow. Old-growth trees don't capture as much as they reach the end of their life-cycle.

As others have said, trees are only temporary as they eventually die and need to be replanted. They're also slow to start, and need to be maintained (which costs carbon as well).
