Skip generation in a tikz tree

Question

\documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \usetikzlibrary{trees} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} [ grow cyclic, level 1/.style={level distance=32mm, sibling angle=60}, level 2/.style={level distance=16mm, sibling angle=45}, level 3/.style={level distance=8mm, sibling angle=30}, ] % Root \node (root) {[1] root} % [2] child foreach \name in {{[2] A},{[2] B},{[2] C}} {node {\name}} % [3] ; \node (2ndGenA) at(+135:48mm) {[3] D}; \node (2ndGenB) at(-135:48mm) {[3] E}; \draw (root) -- (2ndGenA); \draw (root) -- (2ndGenB); \draw[dashed] (0,0) circle [radius=32mm] circle [radius=48mm]; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

Is it possible to use the tikz child notation to skip a generation as shown in my example for nodes 2ndGenA (D) and 2ndGenB (E)?

Note the tree should be a radial tree which is supported by the tikzlibrary trees. Afaik, the packages forest and tikz-qtree do not support radial trees. But forest would have the tier option.

I'm not sure if this is what you want, but you can use 'invisible' nodes at level 2 so it doesn't look as if there are nodes there. You just need to make them coordinates.

If the angles matter, you'll need to adjust those in the usual ways, but I guess this gives the general idea.

\documentclass[tikz,border=9pt]{standalone} \usetikzlibrary{trees} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} [ grow cyclic, level 1/.style={level distance=32mm, sibling angle=60}, level 2/.style={level distance=16mm, }, ] % Root \node (root) {[1] root} % [2] % [3] child foreach \name in {{[2] A},{[2] B},{[2] C}} {node {\name}} child {node [coordinate] {} child {node {[3] D}}} child { node [coordinate] {} child {node {[3] E}}} ; \draw[dashed] (0,0) circle [radius=32mm] circle [radius=48mm]; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}
