    Answering a question by Godefroy and Deville the author shows that for a cardinal \(\kappa > \omega\) the Hilbert space \(\ell_2(\kappa)\) contains \(2^{\kappa}\) pairwise nonhomeomorphic weakly compact convex subspaces of weight \(\kappa\). The result is obtained using the technique of fiber orders (developed recently by the author and Kalenda), and the family of subspaces is parametrized by a family of trees.
