What about "thinning branches" (or "branchage", to be exact)?
Apparently the ancient greek word to use would be /"κλάδος/, /klados/"
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladistic

(Corresponding to "κλαδί", "kladi", in modern Greek ???):
http://el.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%BA%CE%BB%CE%B1%CE%B4%CE%AF

Thus, "Cladobolic trees" ?

Hmm, I guess the formulae given for various kinds of trees on 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylogenetic_tree
are already submitted to OEIS? (Inspiring!)



Terveisin,
