Leonardo’s rule of trees is that every branch of trees will have a similar cross-section thickness as their trunks. According to scientists, this rule helps trees to effectively distribute their sap. Artists commonly use this rule to design trees. Architects can use this law of nature to make strong pillars across buildings.
