Let ${\mathcal C} ^{\rm rt}$ be the class of rooted trees and $\langle {\mathcal C} ^{\rm rt}\rangle _{\dot{\cup }\Pi}$ its minimal closure under isomorphism, finite direct products and finite disjoint unions. Posets from that closure are isomorphic to ${\mathbb X}= \dot{\bigcup} _{i<n}\prod _{j<m_i}{\mathbb X}_i^j$, where ${\mathbb X}_i^j$ are rooted trees. Defining ${\mathcal T}=\mathop{\rm Th} ({\mathbb X})$, ${\mathcal T} _i ^j=\mathop{\rm Th}({\mathbb X}_i^j)$, for $i<n$ and $j<m_i$, and $\kappa = \prod _{i<n}\prod _{j<m_i}I({\mathcal T} _i^j)$, we have (a) Vaught's conjecture is true for ${\mathcal T}$: $I({\mathcal T})=\kappa $, if $\kappa\in \{ 1,\omega ,{\mathfrak{c}}\}$, and, otherwise, $I({\mathcal T}) \in [3,\omega)$; (b) ${\mathbb Y} \equiv {\mathbb X}$ iff $\;{\mathbb Y} \cong \dot{\bigcup}_{i<n}\prod _{j<m_i}{\mathbb Y} _i^j$, where ${\mathbb Y}_i^j\equiv {\mathbb X}_i^j$, for $i<n$ and $j<m_i$; (c) ${\mathbb E}\preccurlyeq {\mathbb X}$ iff $\;{\mathbb E} =\dot{\bigcup}_{i<n}\prod _{j<m_i}{\mathbb E}_i^j$, where ${\mathbb E}_i^j\preccurlyeq {\mathbb X}_i^j$, for $i<n$ and $j<m_i$; (d) ${\mathcal T}$ is atomic iff $\;{\mathcal T} _i^j$, for $i<n$ and $j<m_i$, are atomic; then $\dot{\bigcup}_{i<n}\prod _{j<m_i}{\mathbb A}_i^j$ is a countable atomic model of ${\mathcal T}$, where ${\mathbb A}_i^j$ is a countable atomic model of ${\mathcal T} _i^j$, for $i<n$ and $j<m_i$; (e) ${\mathcal T}$ is small iff $\;{\mathcal T} _i^j$, for $i<n$ and $j<m_i$, are small; then $\dot{\bigcup}_{i<n}\prod _{j<m_i}{\mathbb S}_i^j$ is a countably saturated model of ${\mathcal T}$, where ${\mathbb S}_i^j$ is a countably saturated model of ${\mathcal T}_i^j$, for $i<n$ and $j<m_i$.
