contents We study vantage-point trees constructed using an independent sample from the uniform distribution on a fixed convex body $K$ in $(\mathbb{R}^d,\|\cdot\|)$, where $\|\cdot\|$ is an arbitrary norm on $\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove that a sequence of sets, associated with the left boundary of a vantage-point tree, forms a recurrent Harris chain on the space of convex bodies in $(\mathbb{R}^d,\|\cdot\|)$. The limiting object is a ball polyhedron, that is, an a.s.~finite intersection of closed balls in $(\mathbb{R}^d,\|\cdot\|)$ of possibly different radii. As a consequence, we derive a limit theorem for the length of the leftmost path of a vantage-point tree.
