Struct containing a list of itself?

Hi, I'm trying to creating a node-like tree which can contain a child (or children), but the mojo compiler doesn't really let me do that:
@value 
struct Node:
    var value: Int
    var children: List[Node]  # A list of Node objects

    fn __init__(inout self, value: Int):
        self.value = value
        self.children = List[Node]()  # Initialize an empty list

    fn add_child(inout self, child: Node):
        self.children.append(child)  # Add a child node to the list

fn main():
    var root = Node(1)
    var child1 = Node(2)
    var child2 = Node(3)

    root.add_child(child1)
    root.add_child(child2)

    print(root.value)  # Output: 1
