How do you label a polygon feature with a count of a point feature?

Question

I'm building a tree inventory, and zoomed in, each point represents a tree. Zoomed out far enough, I'd like a polygon feature to represent the area the trees are in, and I would like the polygon label to be a count of the point features.

How would I accomplish this in ArcGIS Pro?

Thanks for the reply.

The data is dynamic. Can the label change depending on the remaining points within the polygon?

Are your polygons already defined? -

Is the data static?

If so have a look at this workflow - How To: Count the number of point features within a polygon

Then the output you can symbolize on the sum count.

Then you can use visibility ranges to turn display the polygons and the points at the desired zoom levels

Maybe look at Feature Binning; Aggregate features into bins—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation  and Symbolize binned feature layers—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

I do think that it requires and Enterprise Geodatabase to do this for the data.
