Let G be the group of isometries of a homogeneous tree . In the first part of this paper we decompose G in terms of certain subgroups N, ℤ, and K to obtain the related integral formula

Then, by using ideas of A. Ionescu and the formula above, we prove that and that a related maximal operator on  is bounded from L2, 1() to L2,∞(). We finally show that Lp, 1(K\G/K) is a commutative Banach algebra of convolutors for Lp(G) and give an explicit description of its Gelfand spectrum.
