Abstract: The basin of infinity of a polynomial map $$ carries a natural foliation and a flat metric with singularities, making it into a metrized Riemann surface $X(f)$. As $f$ diverges in the moduli space of polynomials, the surface $X(f)$ collapses along its foliation to yield a metrized simplicial tree $(T,eta)$, with limiting dynamics $F:TarrowT$. In this paper we characterize the trees that arise as limits, and show they provide a natural boundary $P{T}_d$ compactifying the moduli space of polynomials of degree $d$. We show that $(T,eta,F)$ records the limiting behavior of multipliers at periodic points, and that any divergent meromorphic family of polynomials $f_t(z):tmemDelt{a}^{\ast }$ can be completed by a unique tree at its central fiber. Finally we show that in the cubic case, the boundary of moduli space $P{T}_3$ is itself a tree. The metrized trees $(T,eta,F)$ provide a counterpart, in the setting of iterated rational maps, to the $$-trees that arise as limits of hyperbolic manifolds.
