The authors surveyed trees in art, selected to cover a broad geographical range and also for their subjective beauty, and found values from 1.5 to 2.8, which correspond to the range of natural trees.

The math that describes the branching pattern of trees in nature also holds for trees depicted in art—and may even underlie our ability to recognize artworks as depictions of trees.

Scientists have studied trees depicted in various works of art and found they contain fractals, following relatively simple mathematical rules also found in branching patterns in nature.

In biology, phylogenetic trees represent the evolutionary history and diversification of species – the “family tree” of Life. Phylogenetic trees not only describe the evolution of a group of organisms ...
