Given a pair of graphsGandH, the Ramsey numberR(G,H) is the smallestNsuch that every red–blue colouring of the edges of the complete graphKNcontains a red copy ofGor a blue copy ofH. If a graphGis connected, it is well known and easy to show thatR(G,H) ≥ (|G|−1)(χ(H)−1)+σ(H), where χ(H) is the chromatic number ofHand σ(H) is the size of the smallest colour class in a χ(H)-colouring ofH. A graphGis calledH-goodifR(G,H) = (|G|−1)(χ(H)−1)+σ(H). The notion of Ramsey goodness was introduced by Burr and Erdős in 1983 and has been extensively studied since then.In this paper we show that ifn≥ Ω(|H| log4|H|) then everyn-vertex bounded degree treeTisH-good. The dependency betweennand |H| is tight up to log factors. This substantially improves a result of Erdős, Faudree, Rousseau, and Schelp from 1985, who proved thatn-vertex bounded degree trees areH-good whenn≥ Ω(|H|4).
