The video tutorial discusses tree recursion, focusing on making multiple recursive calls within a single function. It explains the complexity of tree recursion, particularly in binary trees, and introduces the concept of tracing trees to visualize recursive processes. The tutorial also covers the call stack and memory usage during recursion, emphasizing the importance of understanding these concepts for future applications. Finally, it provides a homework task to reinforce learning.
