We revisit a ballistic deposition process introduced by Atar, Athreya and Kang. Let G=(V,E) be a finite connected graph. We choose independently and uniformly vertices in G. If a vertex x is chosen and the previous height configuration is given by h=(hy)y ∈ V ∈ ℕ0V, the height hx is replaced by hx := 1 + maxy ∼ x hy. We study asymptotic properties of this growth model. We determine the asymptotic growth parameter γ(G ) for some graphs and prove a central limit theorem for the fluctuations around γ( G). We also give a new graph-theoretic interpretation of an inequality obtained by Atar et al..
