Mandelbrot wrote that the most basic example of fractal geometry in nature is the tree. Each split, he noted, from trunk to limb to branch to leaf, is remarkably similar, yet with subtle differences that provide increasing detail and complexity.

And then a tree and seeds of trees
And springtime sap and summer shade
And autumn leaves and shape of poems and dreams
And more than tree. - Langston Hughes
