Consider $mathcalT_n$ the uniform rooted labelled tree on $n$ vertices (i.e. each spanning tree on $K_n$ has the same probability to be picked, and the root is picked uniformly among the $n$ vertices).



Denote $h(t)=max_v d(textroot,v)$ be the height of the tree $t$.
I'm interested in understanding $h(mathcalT_n)$.



While Renyi and Szekeres proved in this paper that $mathbbE(mathcalT_n)tosqrt2pi n$ (and actually computed the limiting distribution of the scaled height), many authors, like Aldous in here, claim that just realizing that the height behaves like $sqrtn$ should be "easy" to derive.



Does anybody know of an "easy" way to prove this? I would guess the formal fact we want to show is that $h(mathcalT_n)=O(sqrtn)$ in probability, but this might be wrong.



Thank you very much.
