Abstract: A growth model, introduced to describe the development of branched polymers in an heterogeneous environment, gives rise to clusters whose boundary is either faceted or rough. We study the transition between these two morphologies as a function of the parameters of the model. The phase diagram is obtained by direct numerical simulations. The nature of the transition is discussed.
