Yes, egg shells help trees grow.
Specifically, egg shells can be included in the compost pile. They break down in nutrient rich sources of calcium and phosphorus for tree roots. The compost is applied as a fertilizer or mulch, either way releasing calcium and phosphorus from the egg shells into the soil for intake by tree roots.

How can egg shells help in the growth of plants?
Egg shells are a good source of calcium, which plants use to grow. You can crush and compost the eggshells to make them easier for the plant to use.IN ADDITION:Egg shells are not recommended to place directly in the garden because of the raw egg contained on it can be a source of harmful bacteria. It is recommended that you boil them first. It also takes years for the calcium contained in the eggshell to break down enough to be beneficial to the plant. If you are looking for a source of readily available calcium, just purchase a 5 pound bag of lime and add directly to the topsoil and plow it under. It is powdered calcified limestone and takes no composition time. Lime doesn't make plants grow faster, just healthier. It stops blossom end rot on tomatoes and neutralizes acitic soil and elevates the pH level in low pH soils.

Why is food grade ink required to code on egg shells?
Food-grade ink is required to code on egg shells, because egg shells are porous and chemicals could enter the egg. Also, eggs are often cooked with the shells intact (e.g. hard-boiled); so the consumer could come into contact with the ink while eating the egg. Even when an egg is cracked there is a risk that the egg contents could come into contact with the ink.
