Tiny tree, one anchor is bad, two, you have to be kidding.

The tiny tree on the right has two anchors. The top one is single strand webbing, prone to cutting, like the red anchor at left. The lower anchor has a single runner and one carabiner, adding two points of failure and weaker than the static rope.

The tiny tree is a joke, the anchors aren't independent.

The clove hitch is close to side loading the carabiner.

The rope is slack, it isn't part of the system. It is too high up the tree, and is barely a tensionless anchor.
