No. Although trees can become fossil fuels, they are not considered fossil fuels until they are decomposed.

Fossil fuels are created when organisms die and are decomposed over millions of years. They then form coal, petroleum or natural gas. These fuels are called nonrenewable resources, because they take so long to create. Trees grow relatively fast, so they are considered renewable.
