Abstract
Klimo\v{s}ov\'a, Piguet, and Rozho\v{n} conjectured that any graph with minimum degree and sufficiently many vertices of degree should contain all trees with edges. We prove an asymptotic version of this conjecture for dense host graphs. We obtain interesting corollaries: the first is an asymptotic version of the Erd\H{o}s--S\'os conjecture for dense host graphs, which works without any bounded-degree restriction on the guest trees. Secondly, by leveraging recent results by Pokrovsky, we can translate our results to sparse host graphs in the case of bounded-degree guest trees.
