Abstract. We provide sharp weak estimates for the distribution function of Mφ when on φ we impose L 1 , L q and L p,∞ restrictions. Here M is the dyadic maximal operator associated to a tree T on a non-atomic probability measure space. As a consequence we produce that the inequality ||M T φ|| p,∞ ≤ |||φ||| p,∞ is sharp allowing every possible value for the L 1 and the L q norm for a fixed q such that
