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.

The math concept hidden in this tree art — geometric shapes known as fractals — is apparent in branching patterns in nature and may be key to humans’ ability to recognize such artwork as ...

By using fractal math to calculate how the branches of trees are depicted in art, researchers can put a number on what makes for a realistic tree.

Here in the High Desert, ponderosa pine trees. “They grow in what’s called a branching fractal pattern,” Brazier explained. From the base of the tree, “It grows up and it branches out.
