We present a detailed study of the nearest-neighbour ferromagnetic Ising model on a Cayley tree. In the limit of zero field, the system displays glassy behaviour below a crossover temperature,
, that scales inversely with the logarithm of the number of generations; thus
is inversely proportional to the logarithm of the logarithm of the number of sites. Non-Gaussian magnetization distributions are observed for
, reminiscent of that associated with the central spin of the Edwards - Anderson model on the same tree; furthermore, a dynamical study indicates metastability, long relaxation times and ageing consistent with the development of glassy behaviour for a finite but macroscopic number of sites.
