The base of the tree is in the dirt but the leaves he is standing on reside over top of his spawn point, which is in the sand. Coincidentally, he chose not to look down and show us what's underneath the leaves he is standing on.
The game will spawn you on the highest point above your spawn point.
Nice find OP, hey I found something cool also. Did you know that you can actually punch the trees to get wood?

As you can see, you can spawn on anything. Even trees - like I just did.
