Abstract: For a tree $T$, we show that for many positive integer values of $n$, and an integer $sgeq2$, the higher topological complexity $T{C}_s$ of the unordered configuration spaces of trees $Umathcal{C}^{n}T$, is maximal. In other words, we prove that, $T{C}_s(Umathcal{C}^{n}T)=s(hdim(Umathcal{C}^{n}T))$ where $hdim$ stands for the homotopy dimension.
