Abstract
We provide a description of the structure of ℵ 0-categorical trees. First the maximal branches of ℵ 0-categorical tree are examined, followed by the configuration of the ramification orders, which are then combined to provided necessary and sufficient conditions for a tree to be ℵ 0-categorical in terms of these two things.
