Abstract

Given a continuum $X$ and $p\in X$, we will consider the hyperspace $C(p,X)$ of all subcontinua of $X$ containing $p$. Given a family of continua $\mathcal{C}$, a continuum $X\in\mathcal{C}$ and $p\in X$, we say that $(X,p)$ has unique hyperspace $C(p,X)$ relative to $\mathcal{C}$ if for each $Y\in\mathcal{C}$ and $q\in Y$ such that $C(p,X)$ and $C(q,Y)$ are homeomorphic, there is a homeomorphism between $X$ and $Y$ sending $p$ to $q$. In this paper we study some topological and geometric properties about the structure of $C(p,X)$ when $X$ is a fruit tree; we show that, in this class of trees, there is never uniqueness of the corresponding hyperspaces, being the noose and the arc the only two exceptions. We provide also the construction of all fruit trees $G$ and $q\in G$ such that $C(p,X)$ is homeomorphic to $C(q,G)$.
