Dear Gudrun, almost right, try this code: set.seed(42) tree<-pbtree(n=10) tree$tip.label<-c("A","B","Q","M","C","D","F","X","Z","W") color<-rep("black",length(tree$tip.label)) color[which(tree$tip.label=="A")]<-"red" edgecolor<-rep("black",length(tree$edge)) plot(tree) edgelabels() # edge 3 leads to A edgecolor[3]<-"red" plot(tree, edge.color=edgecolor)
