contents We prove that for every tree $T$ which is not an edge, for almost every graph $G$ which does not contain $T$ as an induced subgraph, $V(G)$ has a partition into $α(T)-1$ parts certifying this fact. Each part induces a graph which is $P_4$-free and has further properties which depend on $T$. As a consequence we obtain good bounds (often tight up to a constant factor) on the number of $T$-free graphs and show in a follow-up paper~\cite{RY} that almost every $T$-free graph $G$ has chromatic number equal to the size of its largest clique.
