Going by the top Duck duck go results for “how many stars in our galaxy” and “how many trees in the world”:
“According to Jos de Bruijne, a scientist at the European Space Agency (ESA), the current estimate is between 100 to 400 billion stars.”

“There are an estimated 3.04 trillion trees in the world.”
