We investigate a simple growth model. The model considers the growth of trees driven by extremal dynamics. Self-organized criticality (SOC) exhibited by the model is discussed. We point out that this tree-like model does not seem to belong to any already studied SOC universality class. This is shown through a discussion of the dynamics and the so-called gap equation which does not hold here.
