We give two proofs of this result, one probabilistic and the other using generating functions and singularity analysis. Moreover, the second proof yields a more general estimate for generating functions, which is used to prove a conjecture by Bousquet-Melou and Janson saying that the vertical profile of a randomly labelled conditioned Galton-Watson tree converges in distribution, after suitable normalization, to the density of ISE (Integrated Superbrownian Excursion).16 pagesProbabilityCombinatorics60C05; 05C05Distances between pairs of vertices and vertical profile in conditioned Galton--Watson treestext
