You wouldn't normally list it in a factor tree, because it's not technically a Prime number, and besides if you did, you could keep on adding x1 x1 x1 x1 forever and not change the value.

That being said, if you wanted to show the factorization of a prime number, you'd most likely write it as (for example) 709 x 1, just to show that nothing else divides evenly into 709.
