Drinfeld modular forms are similar to the discriminant function, Eisenstein series, or other modular forms for the classical modular group SL(2;Z), but are defined on the "Drinfeld upper half-plane" . The location of their zeroes may be described in terms of the Bruhat-Tits tree associated to . We present some known and some less-known examples of such forms and their zeroes.
