We give a sufficient condition for the existence of an equivalent Gâteaux smooth norm on 0 (ϒ), where ϒ is a tree. Using this, we prove that if 0 (ϒ) admits an equivalent strictly convex norm, then it admits an equivalent Gâteaux smooth norm. This resolves an open problem from Haydon's study of trees in renorming theory.
