Abstract: A map $f:R \to S$ of continua $R$ and $S$ is called a universal map from $R$ to $S$ if for any map $g:R \to S$, $f(x) = g(x)$ for some point $x \in R$. When $R$ and $S$ are trees, we characterize universal maps by reducing to the case of light minimal universal maps. The characterization uses the notions of combinatorial map and folded subedge of $R$.
