EK Yokohama Jan 8, 2015:
Alternative: "show tree-like growth" For "baumartig", there are also the adjectives:
"arborescent", "arboreous", "arboreal"
But I only found the collocation "arborescent growth".
Hope that helps.

agree EK Yokohama : That's it! "To have or produce branching formations, as the bronchial tubes of the lungs." (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/arborize)

are not branched

a wild guess
Peer comment(s):
agree billcorno (X) : I would say "branch-like" for this as "tree-like" is too general. So this is closest.
