Plants That Use Chitin in Place of Lignin

What would the appearance and structure of trees be like if they used chitin, instead of lignin, for cell walls? This is assuming that all other properties are basically unchanged.

These trees would be in a tropical environment with nutrient rich soil and plenty of water and sunlight available. They utilize photosynthesis and have efficient vascular systems.
