rekursiv erstellen einer Struktur

Ich versuche rekursiv füllen ein Baum, aber mein code ist nur Sie nur füllen Sie eine Tiefe Länge, und dann quiting. d.h. jeder Knoten hat nur ein Kind. Gibt es etwas, bin andernfalls zu nehmen zu berücksichtigen?

public static void populate(Node n, int depth, String player){
    System.out.println("Depth: " + depth);
    if(player.equalsIgnoreCase("X"))
        player = "O";
    else
        player = "X";
    int j = 0;
    System.out.println("empty spots: " + ((Board)n.getData()).noOfEmpty());
    for(int i=0; i<((Board)n.getData()).noOfEmpty(); i++){
        if(((Board)n.getData()).getSquare(j).equalsIgnoreCase("X")
                || ((Board)n.getData()).getSquare(j).equalsIgnoreCase("O"))
            j++;
        else{
            Board tmp = new Board(((Board)n.getData()), j, player);
            Node newNode = new Node(tmp);
            tree.insert(n, newNode);
            populate(newNode, depth-1, player);
        }
    }
}

P. S. und ich check das noOfEmpty() return-Wert, der sollte bestimmen die Anzahl der Kinder eines Knotens haben sollte.

edit:@eznme der komplette code, wie verlangt:
