We describe the spectral theory of the adjacency operator of a graph which is isomorphic to homogeneous trees at infinity. Using some combinatorics, we reduce the problem to a scattering problem for a finite rank perturbation of the adjacency operator on an homogeneous tree. We developp this scattering theory using the classical recipes for Schrödinger operators in Euclidian spaces.
