If arranged it so when I die, my body is literally planted underneath a sapling or seed, and a large tree grew & survived because of the nutrients my body supplied, would I theoretically continue to live on in some “form” forever, just as part of a tree?

It says a lot about where we are right now that becoming plant food is seen as a more logical way of living on than passing either your DNA or your ideas on.

than passing either your DNA

Hey, I take my weekly trips to the sperm bank and get paid for it, too. I resent that. I like to think of myself as Genghis Khan. I don't know if it was ethical, but I like to think I have a pretty cute face and I lied about all the anxiety and depression I feel to make it seem like I'm the perfect candidate. I hope lots of lonely woman choose my DNA!!!

I was just wondering if one of my molecules would exist in the tree is all.

You should definitely be doing this. In the UK we actually have a shortage of sperm donors apparently because blokes are scared of the kid finding them when they get to 18. I don't see the down side myself, let someone else do all the hard work and enjoy the finished product.
