We define the diagonal union of subsets of a tree, as well as normal ideals on a tree, and we characterize arbitrary subsets of a non-special tree as being either stationary or non-stationary.\n  We then use this theory to prove the following partition relation for trees:\n  Main Theorem: Let $\\kappa$ be any infinite regular cardinal, let $\\xi$ be any ordinal such that $2^{\\left|\\xi\\right|} < \\kappa$, and let $k$ be any natural number.
