We consider the semilinear Schr\"odinger equation associated to $\cal L$ with a power-like nonlinearity $F$ of degree $\gamma$. We first obtain dispersive estimates and Strichartz estimates with no admissibility conditions. We next deduce global well-posedness for small $L^2$ data with no gauge invariance assumption on the nonlinearity $F$. On the other hand if $F$ is gauge invariant, $L^2$ conservation leads to global well-posedness for arbitrary $L^2$ data. Notice that, in contrast with the Euclidean case, these global well-posedness results hold for all finite $\gamma\ge 1$. We finally prove scattering for arbitrary $L^2$ data under the gauge invariance assumption. Keywords: Homogeneous tree, nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, dispersive estimate, Strichartz estimate, scattering.
