Abstract: We construct an example of an infinite planar embedded self-similar binary tree $Sigma$ which is the essentially unique solution to the Steiner problem of finding the shortest connection of a given planar self-similar fractal set $C$ of positive Hausdorff dimension. The set $C$ can be considered the set of leaves, or the ``boundary``, of the tree $Sigma$, so that $Sigma$ is an irreducible solution to the Steiner problem with datum $C$ (i.e. $SigmasetminusC$ is connected).
