If it is a trex tree it should be accustomed to the weight.

That depends on how big the tree is.

It is 49 square feet. So figure it weighs about 500 lbs vs maybe 200-250
for
dry redwood.
Not a huge deal for a small structure like this, but maybe so for a big
deck.

It's also a whole lot heavier, so the OP needs to take the extra
weight
into
account in his structural plans.
