PHP - 7875

<?=($p='          ').'*
';for($s=' 0';$p=substr($p,1);;$s.='00'){echo"$p$s
";$s.='00';}";

For variable heights of 12 or below, modify the hard-coded padding in the above. (Code gets smaller the lower the height)

For variable heights of 13 or more use the following, height param is the second argument to str_pad. (Code starts at 8077 bytes and doesn't grow as fast as the version with static padding)

<?=($p=str_pad('',13)).'*
';for($s=' 0';$p=substr($p,1);;$s.='00'){echo"$p$s
";$s.='00';}";

Output of php -d short_open_tag=1 tree.php
