Deciding if using trees (branches, leaves), humans (children), or levels 
(sublevels)
would help.

Also if there is a "show" can there be an equivalent "hide" using the same tag 
(e.g.
"Hide Branches" and "Show Branches" [Not "Hide Branches" and "Show Sublevels"]).

"Hide Subtree" and "Hide Sublevels" is also confusing.
