Topological Tree Alternative Conjecture for locally finite trees

Let TT be a locally finite tree, and write STS\equiv^{\sharp}T when SS and TT are mutually topological minors, meaning STS\leq^{\sharp}T and TST\leq^{\sharp}S. Count the isomorphism classes of such trees SS.

Topological Tree Alternative Conjecture. For a given locally finite tree TT, the number of isomorphism classes of trees that are mutually topological minors with TT is either 11 or c\mathfrak c.

This is the topological-minor analogue of the Tree Alternative Conjecture. It gives a sharp alternative for the size of each mutual-topological-minor equivalence class, and the supplied text does not state that it has been resolved.
