This paper deals with properties of synchronizing terms for finite tree automata, which is a generalization of the synchronization principle of deterministic finite string automata (DFA). Such terms correspond to a connected subgraph, where a state in the root is always the same regardless of states of subtrees attached to it. We ask, what is the maximum height of the smallest synchronizing term of a deterministic bottom-up tree automaton (DFTA) with n states. This naturally leads to two types of synchronizing terms, called weak and strong, that depend on whether a variable, i.e., a placeholder for a subtree, must be present in at least one leaf or all of them. We prove that the maximum height in the case of weak synchronization has a theoretical upper bound sl(n)+n-1, where sl(n) is the maximum length of the shortest synchronizing string of an n-state DFAs. For strong synchronization, we prove exponential bounds. We provide a theoretical upper bound of 2n-n-1 for the height and two constructions of automata approaching it. One achieves the height of θ (2n-r√n) with an alphabet of linear size and maximum arity r, and the other achieves 2n-1-1 with an alphabet of quadratic size.
