Trees couldn't survive on Mars.

Trees wouldn't survive in the cold and very low pressure. Any water they'd need would be permanently frozen, and unusable to them.

They would die very rapidly.

Leave Mars as it is. Unpolluted by humans.

Trees would survive more easily on the top of Mt. Everest or on the Antarctic Plateau than anywhere on Mars.

Start with something like lichens, and around the equator, and the Hellas basin.

which trees would you recommend, keeping in mind they must survive temperatures of -190F and an atmosphere with next to no oxygen?

There is no liquid water on Mars. It can't exist at those temperatures and pressures. So trees won't survive.
