The control provides this option via the mentioned API - either via the level or in NodeExpand.
Here is how it works in this online demo.
This expands the root node with text "proc":
<RadzenTreeLevel Text=@GetTextForNode Template=@FileOrFolderTemplate
Expanded=@((value) => GetTextForNode(value) == "proc") />
While this expands the child with text "self"
args.Children.Expanded = (value) => GetTextForNode(value) == "self";
