.e-treegrid .e-rowcell.customcss{
    background-color: #ecedee;
    color: 'red';
    font-family: 'Bell MT';
    font-size: 20px;
}

.e-treegrid .e-headercell.customcss{
    background-color: #2382c3;
    color: white;
    font-family: 'Bell MT';
    font-size: 20px;
}

Step 2:

Add the custom CSS class to the specified column by using the customAttributes property.

{ field: 'taskName', headerText: 'Task Name', customAttributes: {class: 'customcss'}, width: 100 },
