The arrow controlled by
\draw[semithick, dashed, ->] (pe)..controls +(south west: 50) and +(south: 50) .. (re); dissects the tree. I want it to curve round the bottom-most node of the tree. I was told that I could not use a Bezier curve to do this, and would have to use a tangent curve. How can I do this?
