This paper presents explicit constructions of universal R‐trees as certain spaces of functions, and also proves that a2 ℵ 0‐universal R‐tree can be isometrically embedded at infinity into a complete simply connected manifold of negative curvature, or into a non‐abelian free group. In contrast to asymptotic cone constructions, asymptotic spaces are built without using the axiom of choice. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification L53C23, 20F67.
