Let Tm​ consist of a rooted path of m≥1 edges followed by two leaves at its far end. Its only vertex with two children has depth m. An adjacency-preserving rooted-tree embedding must preserve this depth, so Tm​ embeds into Tn​ only when m=n. This gives an infinite bad sequence, while rooted-tree homeomorphic embeddings can stretch the stems.
