Abstract: We show that the Gromov boundary of the free factor graph for the free group Fn with n>2 generators is the space of equivalence classes of minimal very small indecomposable projective Fn-trees without point stabilizer containing a free factor equipped with a quotient topology. Here two such trees are equivalent if the union of their metric completions with their Gromov boundaries are Fn-equivariantly homeomorphic with respect to the observer's topology. The boundary of the cyclic splitting graph is the space of equivalence classes of trees which either are indecomposable or split as very large graph of actions. The boundary of the free splitting graph is the space of equivalence classes of trees which either are indecomposable or split as large graph of actions.
