contents We introduce a random probability measure on the profinite completion of the random tree of a branching process and introduce the canonical and grand canonical ensembles of random repelling particles on this random profinite completion at inverse temperature $β> 0$. We think of this as a random spatial process of particles in a random tree, and we introduce the notion of the {\em mean} canonical and grand canonical partition functions where in this context `mean' means averaged over the random environment. We give a recursion for these mean partition functions and demonstrate that in certain instances, determined by the law for the branching process, these partition functions as a function of $β$ have algebraic properties which generalize those that appear in the non-random and $p$-adic environments.
