Let $mathcal{T}$ be a rooted tree endowed with the natural partial order $preceq$. Let $(Z(v))_{vin mathcal{T}}$ be a sequence of independent standard Gaussian random variables and let $alpha = (alpha_k)_{k=1}^infty$ be a sequence of real numbers with $sum_{k=1}^infty alpha_k^2<infty$. Set $alpha_0 =0$ and define a Gaussian process on $mathcal{T}$ in the following way: [ G(mathcal{T}, alpha; v): = sum_{upreceq v} alpha_{|u|} Z(u), quad v in mathcal{T}, ] where $|u|$ denotes the graph distance between the vertex $u$ and the root vertex. Under mild assumptions on $mathcal{T}$, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the almost sure boundedness of the above Gaussian process. Our condition is also necessary and sufficient for the almost sure uniform convergence of the Gaussian process $G(mathcal{T}, alpha; v)$ along all rooted geodesic rays in $mathcal{T}$.
