You must mean *dioxide, not monoxide.
Because carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless and toxic gas. CO can kill you. At lower levels of exposure, CO causes mild effects that are often mistaken for the flu. It is often released by blocked furnaces, water heaters. You often hear of carbon monoxide poisoning in residential homes in the local news.
Plants require carbon DIOXIDE to conduct photosynthesis. Plants release oxygen to the atmosphere, which is subsequently used for respiration by heterotrophic organisms, which creates carbon dioxide.
I recommend knowing the difference.
But to answer your question, trees would not die. Atmospheric carbon dioxide derives from multiple natural sources including volcanic outgassing, the combustion of organic matter, and the respiration processes of living aerobic organisms.
And it is also produced by various microorganisms from fermentation and cellular respiration.

There are enough mechanism in nature to support the trees with Carbon di oxide CO2 (not carbon mono oxide CO as posted by you in the question) like tree exhale CO2 during night, also ameaboic exhalation, earth has huge Carbon banks which can be converted to CO2 like forest fires, lighting , volcanic eruptions..etc....
More over Plants existed even bofore men ...thats what science says.

No. Trees were around before people were and the earth has its own ways of making/venting carbon monoxide so they would live.

So if no humans are on earth, then they wont all die :))

No, trees give off corbon dioxide at night

No, of course not, trees are much older than humans. but vice versa.

no they wouldnt and we give off carbon Dioxide

don't animals give off carbon dioxide?
