Streszczenie
It is shown that each expansive group action on a Peano continuum having a free dendrite must have a ping-pong game, and has positive geometric entropy when the acting group is finitely generated. As a corollary, it is shown that each Peano continuum having a free dendrite admits no expansive nilpotent group actions.
