TreeForm

TreeForm[expr]
displays expr as a tree with different levels at different depths.

TreeForm[expr, n]
displays expr as a tree only down to level n.

MORE INFORMATION

With a notebook front end, TreeForm displays as a graphical tree in StandardForm and TraditionalForm.

TreeForm takes the same options as TreePlot.

VertexLabeling->Automatic does not display expression fragments at each node, but still gives subtree expression as tooltips.

VertexLabeling->False does not give expression fragments or tooltips.
