  A tree functional is called additive if it satisfies a recursion of the form
$F(T) = \sum_{j=1}^k F(B_j) + f(T)$, where $B_1,\ldots,B_k$ are the branches of
the tree $T$ and $f(T)$ is a toll function. We prove a general central limit
theorem for additive functionals of $d$-ary increasing trees under suitable
assumptions on the toll function. The same method also applies to generalised
plane-oriented increasing trees (GPORTs). One of our main applications is a
log-normal law that we prove for the size of the automorphism group of $d$-ary
increasing trees, but many other examples (old and new) are covered as well.
