Zero.

The current best estimate for the age of the universe is 13.75 billion years. The first trees are thought to date from the Carboniferous, approximately 359 - 299 million years ago.

As such, 400 billion years ago (roughly 1300 times older than the estimated point when trees first appeared on Earth and approximately 23 times older than the age of the universe) it is VERY unlikely that there were any trees at all.

It is difficult to determine the exact number of trees that existed 400 billion years ago as trees as we know them today evolved much later in Earth's history. However, during that time period, Earth was mostly covered by primitive plant species such as algae and mosses, rather than modern trees.
