I’ve made 2 crochet trees following the mathematical rules of halving the size repeatedly (32 stitches for 32 rows then split into 16 stitches for 16 rows then split to 8 stitches for 8 rows etc)
the one of the right uses treble stitch (double in USA crochet) and the other uses double stitch (single in USA crochet) and is amigurumi style [I know that sentence will make no sense to non crocheters]
I did the last stitches in yellow to look like blooms
They are stuffed with toy filling and stand up nicely. I will be sending them off to the project that is collecting mathematical botanical yarn creations.

Wow! I just love the yellow blossoms! What a great thing to do, they are beautiful Helena.
These aren't at all what I expected???but they're fab!

These are really cool looking, Helena. They look like something you'd see in a Dr. Seuss story book!
Anything mathematical impresses me..but maths and crochet together? You're probably looking at genius level..
Helena, these are just so amazing! Really sculptural - I do hope they do on display one day with your name proudly underneath :).
They look incredible! The thought of having to use math when I'm crocheting makes me shudder. :)
I am going to try this!
