That doesn't seem to balance for regular spells which increase vastly in cost depending on the SM of the subject.
your options as I see them:
1 - if PC wants to affect the whole tree, then he has to pay the energy for the required area;
2 - just charge him the energy for affecting the whole tree - much like applying massive range penalties with a spell targeted on someone miles away when the PC thought they were in the next room - you wanted a vampire tree, you got a vampire tree, it just cost you your life;
3 - make him target the correct area - like chucking grenades.
I remember height is greater than the width but can't recall the height off-hand but perhaps the goblin is too high anyway, eg 1yd radius, 4 yd high, but that might be walls.
4 - take it in the spirit written, ie any root&branch plant in the area of effect becomes vampiric.

EDIT in light of your reply: area 2, centred between 2 targets with 3 yards separation, is sufficient.
