finding the node with biggest son/sons in BST

I got a code of a BST and i need to create a function that will return the value of the parent that it's son/sons sum to the biggest sum - BST and not AVL.

i assume that the shortest code will be recursive but i didn't manage to get it right - i'll send the code without my function because it's wrong - like to get some help...

Thank you
