Math note: this tree is an example of the Lindenmayer system, a formal grammar that exhibits fractal geometry. Simple formulas recursively iterated creates the fantastic patterns we see in nature. The short formula used for this branch is X→F-[[X]+X]+F[+FX]-X, F→FF. This topic is covered in the 3rd grade of Miyagi Math.
