Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked for posts about urban trees, such as a map of trees in London. One commenter cites a post's point that certain trees were planted in Pittsburgh in the late 1800s for air pollution tolerance. No comment judges the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
