We prove rigorously several results about the site-percolation on random recursive trees, observed in the previous work by Kalay and Ben-Naim [J. Phys. A48(2015), no.4, 0405001, 15 pp.]. For a random recursive tree of size n, let every site have probability p ∈ (0,1) to remain and with probability (1-p) to be removed. As n→∞, we show that the proportion of the remaining clusters of size k is of order k-1-(1)/(p), resulting in a Yule-Simon distribution; the largest cluster size is of order np, and admits a non-trivial scaling limit. The proofs are based on the embedding of this model in the multi-type branching processes, and a coupling with the bond-percolation on random recursive trees.
