I'm a little confused about the word order here. Would Manche Bäume sind grün nicht be correct also? It was not accepted.
I don't know the specific reason, but this is how it works. Don't question it at all, this is how it's done.
Manche Bäume sind nicht grün. Aber ich denke dass mein Verstehen aus dem Thema ist schlecht, so ich werde mehrere sage nichts.

"nicht" likes to settle (directly) after conjugated verbs:

it does work because you are just stating the colour "green" <- its more like a noun here your are not describing the trees eg. the "green trees" <- its more like an adjective then and it would be i think grune
