  A well-known theorem of Nash-Williams shows that the collection of locally
finite trees under the topological minor relation results in a BQO. Set
theoretically, two very natural questions arise: (1) What is the number
$\lambda$ of topological types of locally finite trees? (2) What are the
possible sizes of an equivalence class of locally finite trees? For (1),
clearly, $\omega \leq \lambda \leq \mathfrak{c}$ and Matthiesen refined it to
$\omega_1 \leq \lambda \leq \mathfrak{c}$. Thus, this question becomes
non-trivial when the Continuum Hypothesis is not assumed. In this paper we
address both questions by showing that - entirely within ZFC - for a large
collection of locally finite trees that includes those with countably many
rays: the answer for (1) is $\lambda = \omega_1$, and that for (2) the size of
an equivalence class can only be either $1$ or $\mathfrak{c}$.
