Sakura Pythagorean Tree

Inspired by the Pythagorean Tree in a plane, I stitched the Sakura Pythagorean Tree on a temari ball of diameter 58 cm. This Pythagorean tree has order five and begins with a square of side 5 cm. Upon the first square I constructed two squares to depict the Pythagorean theorem, and from there I continued recursively. Each square is scaled down by a linear factor of about 0.7.
