I get why you folks wrote the script to say that they "aren't trees but succulents" because it has "punch" to it, but it can be both a tree and a succulent, considering "tree" isn't a scientific classification at all (and neither is "succulent"). Even having fibrous wood isn't enough to say they aren't trees considering Ochroma pyramidale, or the Balsa wood tree has wood so soft that it is spongy, able to be easily scratched away with a finger nail and is used to make break away props.
