In the context of the ecological perspectives, there is growing attention in the modelling of the morphological structure of the plants for developing the model of the functional processes of plants. The branching pattern functions as solar panel in the capture of solar radiation for the production of biomass and timber. The present study undertaken with the objective of determining the density of branching and types of branching of 30 tree species (trees and shrubs of Tamaulipan thorn scrub such; Helietta parvifolia, Sargentia gregii, Guaiacum angustifolium, Ebenopsis ebano, Harvadia pallens, Condalia hoockeri, Zanthoxylum fagara, Cordia boissieri, Acacia berlandieri, Diospyros texana, Celtis pallida, Forestiera angustifolia, Diospyros palmeri, Parkinsonia texana, Acacia farnesiana, Sideroxylon celastrina, Caesalpinia mexicana, Karwinskia humboldtiana, Croton suaveolens, Amyris texan..
