We prove that if a solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation on an homogeneous tree with bounded potential decays fast at two distinct times then the solution is trivial. For the free Schrödinger operator, we use the spectral theory of the Laplacian and complex analysis and obtain a characterization of the initial conditions that lead to a sharp decay at any time. We then adapt the real variable methods first introduced by Escauriaza, Kenig, Ponce and Vega to establish a general sharp result in the case of bounded potentials.
