Let T be a tree, f: TT be a continuous map. We show that if f is pointwise chain recurrent (that is, every point of T is chain recurrent under f), then either fan is identity or fan is turbulent if Fix(f) xs2229 End(T) = xs2205 or else fan−1 is identity or fan−1 is turbulent if Fix(f) xs2229 End(T) ≠  . Here n denotes the number of endpoints of T and, an denotes the minimal common multiple of 2,3,…,n.
