COMMENTS
A rooted trimmed tree is a tree without limbs of length >= 2. Limbs are the paths from the leafs (towards the root) to the nearest branching point (with the root considered to be a branching point). [clarified by Joerg Arndt, Mar 03 2015]
A rooted tree with a forbidden limb of length k is a rooted tree where the path from any leaf inward hits a branching node or the root within k steps.
Also counts the unordered rooted trees without "x x" in the level sequence for the pre-order walk. The bijection transforms the two outmost nodes in all limbs of lengths >= 2 into V-shaped subtrees. - Joerg Arndt, Mar 03 2015

FORMULA
a(n) satisfies a=SHIFT_RIGHT(EULER(a-b)) where b(2)=1, b(k)=0 if k != 2.
a(n) ~ c * d^n / n^(3/2), where d = 2.59952511060090659632378883695107..., c = 0.391083882871301267612387143401... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 24 2014
