The question of when you can quasiisometrically embed a solvable Baumslag-Solitar group into another turns out to be equivalent to the question of when you can (1,A)-quasiisometrically embed a rooted tree into another rooted tree. We will briefly describe the geometry of the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups before attacking the problem of embedding trees. We will find that the existence of (1,A)-quasiisometric embeddings between trees is intimately related to the boundedness of a family of integer sequences.
