The paper deals with compactly generated locally compact groups that act on trees and satisfy Tits' independence property. It is shown that such a group has few open subgroups iff it acts locally primitively and that it always admits many germs of automorphisms that do not extend to automorphisms. Under suitable assumptions, the full group of germs of automorphisms is computed.
