Work Step by Step

A string in the context of this syntax diagram is defined as a sequence of characters. We want to parse xxyxx according to String -> x String x | y. Start with String = x String x (since it starts with x). Remaining string inside: xyx. Again, it starts with x, so String = x String x. Remaining string inside: y. This matches the base case String -> y. Now, we can draw the parse tree )+(see figure).
