Findings

Maximal branches of $eth_{0}$-categorical trees are characterized.

Conditions for $eth_{0}$-categoricity in trees are established.

Classification of $eth_{0}$-categorical cycle-free partial orders is derived.

Abstract

We provide a description of the structure of $\aleph_0$-categorical trees and cycle-free partial orders. First the maximal branches of $\aleph_0$-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 $\aleph_0$-categorical in terms of these two things. The classification of the $\aleph_0$-categorical cycle-free partial orders is found as a corollary.
