An individual in the comment section likened the tree with The Giving Tree, that used to give things to a boy, with whom it had forged a relationship. Another user said that it was a great idea for people to put items they no longer needed near a tree and suggested every neighbourhood should have one such tree where residents can keep things they want to donate so that the needy in the area can take it from there.
