Uniformly branching trees

A quasiconformal tree $T$ is a (compact) metric tree that is doubling and of bounded turning. We call $T$ trivalent if every branch point of $T$ has exactly three branches. If the set of branch points is uniformly relatively separated and uniformly relatively dense, we say that $T$ is uniformly branching. We prove that a metric space $T$ is quasisymmetrically equivalent to the continuum self-similar tree if and only if it is a trivalent quasiconformal tree that is uniformly branching. In particular, any two trees of this type are quasisymmetrically equivalent.
