A tree topology is combination of bus topology and star topology. The nodes of bus topology are replaced with standalone star topology networks. This results in both disadvantages of bus topology and advantages of star topology.
Advantages
It is scalable. Secondary nodes allow more devices to be connected to a central node.
Point to point connection of devices.
Having different levels of the network makes it more manageable hence easier fault identification and isolation.
Disadvantages
Maintenance of the network may be an issue when the network spans a great area.
Since it is a variation of bus topology, if the backbone fails, the entire network is crippled.
Example of this network could be cable TV technology. Other examples are in dynamic tree based wireless networks for military, mining and otherwise mobile applications
