Binary Search Tree - Calling FindSmallest Method In Main Class

How should I call my findSmallest method in the main class.. Here is the code:

public class Tester {
public static void main(String[] args){
try {
BinaryTree<Integer> myTree2 = new BinaryTree<Integer>();
 
myTree2.insert(5);
myTree2.insert(2);
myTree2.insert(7);

[Code] ....

So the question is what kind of parameter I should pass in myTree2.findSmallest()??? Here is my findSmallest method..

public E findSmallest(Node<E> parent){
if(parent.left.left == null){
E returnValue = parent.left.data;
parent.left = parent.left.right;
return returnValue;
} else {
return findSmallest(parent.left);
}
}
