Answer:
Planting trees, yes. Yes, the hadith is as I mentioned: whoever plants a tree whose fruit is eaten, such as a date palm, or plants a crop that yields food grains, then the reward for what this palm or this crop produces belongs to the one who planted it or sowed it, as in the hadith: So the owner of the planting and sowing has the reward for that, and he reckons the reward with Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. And in this lies the virtue of planting fruit-bearing trees and sowing fruit-bearing crops. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
