contents The generalized degree polynomial $\mathbf{G}_T(x,y,z)$ of a tree $T$ is an invariant introduced by Crew that enumerates subsets of vertices by size and number of internal and boundary edges. Aliste-Prieto et al. proved that $\mathbf{G}_T$ is determined linearly by the chromatic symmetric function $\mathbf{X}_T$, introduced by Stanley. We present several classes of information about $T$ that can be recovered from $\mathbf{G}_T$ and hence also from $\mathbf{X}_T$. Examples of such information include the double-degree sequence of $T$, which enumerates edges of $T$ by the pair of degrees of their endpoints, and the leaf adjacency sequence of $T$, which enumerates vertices of $T$ by degree and number of adjacent leaves. We also discuss a further generalization of $\mathbf{G}_T$ that enumerates tuples of vertex sets and show that this is also determined by $\mathbf{X}_T$.

The generalized degree polynomial $\mathbf{G}_T(x,y,z)$ of a tree $T$ is an invariant introduced by Crew that enumerates subsets of vertices by size and number of internal and boundary edges. Aliste-Prieto et al. proved that $\mathbf{G}_T$ is determined linearly by the chromatic symmetric function $\mathbf{X}_T$, introduced by Stanley. We present several classes of information about $T$ that can be recovered from $\mathbf{G}_T$ and hence also from $\mathbf{X}_T$. Examples of such information include the double-degree sequence of $T$, which enumerates edges of $T$ by the pair of degrees of their endpoints, and the leaf adjacency sequence of $T$, which enumerates vertices of $T$ by degree and number of adjacent leaves.
