According to the Guinness book of records, the tallest trees are about 450 feet. Using your argument, the tallest trees should split under its own weight when it sways on a windy day.

We can rest assured that the worst flood recorded was anything but 'glass smooth'.
​
The Guinness book of records state that the tallest trees are Eucalyptus trees. These trees can bend a lot on windy days. See the photo here:

I'm sure any tree (other than eucalyptus) capable of growing very tall has the ability to bend a lot.
