The Erdos-Sos conjecture says that a graph G on n vertices and number of edges e(G) 〉 n(k - 1)/2 contains all trees of size k. In this paper we prove a sufficient condition for a graph to contain every tree of size k formulated in terms of the minimum edge degree ξ(G) of a graph G defined as {(G) = min{d(u) + d(v) - 2 : uv ∈ E(G)}. More precisely, we show that a connected graph G with maximum degree △(G) ≥ k and minimum edge degree {(G) 〉 2k - 4 contains every tree of k edges if dG(x) + dG(y) ≥ 2k - 4 for all pairs x, y of nonadjacent neighbors of a vertex u of dG(u) ≥ k.
