Summary: It is independent of the usual (ZFC) axioms of set theory whether every collectionwise Hausdorff tree is either metrizable or has an uncountable chain. We show that even if we add ``or has an Aronszajn subtree,'' the statement remains ZFC-independent. This is done by constructing a tree as in the title, using the set-theoretic hypothesis $\diamondsuit^*$, which holds in Gödel's Constructible Universe. (English)
