I think if you take any set of symbols and map each one to a unique binary sequence, you can then structure it as a binary tree.
In other words Morse didn’t have to be designed as a tree. The tree is just a data structure that fits any similar abstraction. You could probably do something similar with a multidimensional array (5D to include punctuation) but that’s much harder to illustrate.
