Let 𝑇 be a tree, a vertex of degree one is called a leaf. The set of all leaves of 𝑇 is denoted by Leaf(𝑇). The subtree 𝑇 − Leaf(𝑇) of 𝑇 is called the stem of 𝑇 and denoted by Stem(𝑇). A tree 𝑇 is called a caterpillar if Stem(𝑇) is a path. In this paper, we give two sufficient conditions for a connected graph to have a spanning tree whose stem is a caterpillar. We also give some examples to show that these conditions are sharp.
