Abstract
We generalize a result on Banach spaces with separable dual which was first shown by Zippin, and was explicitly formulated by Benyamini. We prove that there is a class of Asplund spaces, which includes all spaces with separable dual, whose members can be perturbed inside a suitable ambient space to be contained in the space of continuous functions on a well-founded compact tree.
