For graph domains without cycles, we show how unknown coefficients and source terms for a parabolic equation can be recovered from the dynamical Neumann‐to‐Dirichlet map associated with the boundary vertices. Through use of a companion wave equation problem, the topology of the tree graph, degree of the vertices, and edge lengths can also be recovered. The motivation for this work comes from a neuronal cable equation defined on the neuron's dendritic tree, and the inverse problem concerns parameter identification of k unknown distributed conductance parameters.
