Public trees are for sharing trees and plants and how they change. These rules apply to everything you make public. Private trees are yours alone.
Share
- Photos you took of trees and plants.
- Places you’re allowed to be. Approximate location (the default) is a good choice.
Don’t share
- Photos where a person is the subject, or anyone’s face up close, without their OK.
- The exact location of private homes or gardens that aren’t yours, or of rare or protected plants (use Approximate or Hidden for those).
- Nudity, violence, hate, harassment, or anything illegal.
- Ads, spam, or photos that aren’t yours.
How it’s kept that way
- A photo is checked for a plant before others see it. If no plant is found, a person looks at it first.
- Anyone can report a public photo. A photo reported twice is hidden until someone reviews it.
- Photos that break these rules are removed, and the owner is told why. Repeated or serious breaks can close an account.
- You can block someone so you don’t see their trees and they can’t see yours.
