Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Y-shape for tree diagram in Tikz

[borgauf]

I need some help getting started with a tree diagram. It should have a "Split" and a "Flat", both objects identical, and should be depicted like a capital Y, i.e., a vertical base, then two branches going off at roughly ninety degrees from each other. These will then be placed onto one another to form a tree, a base onto the ends of the branches -- or a final Flat terminated with piece of "Fruit" on the left branch and a "Bud" on the right. This is from The Little MLer BTW.

A picture is worth a thousand words. A photographed hand-drawn picture or uploading/linking an existing picture could help give you advice on how to approach the solution.

The chapter 21 "Making Trees Grow" in the documentation should help you to expand my example.
