contents The height of a random PATRICIA tree built from independent, identically distributed infinite binary strings with arbitrary diffuse probability distribution $μ$ on $\{0,1\}^\mathbb{N}$ is studied. We show that the expected height grows asymptotically sublinearly in the number of leaves for any such $μ$, but can be made to exceed any specific sublinear growth rate by choosing $μ$ appropriately.
