Fix a hyperbolicity constant for . For a prescribed , scale its distance by
All distances in every geodesic triangle, including its thinness constant, scale by . Hence
is -hyperbolic. Multiplication of a metric by a fixed positive constant is a bilipschitz equivalence and hence a quasi-isometry. Therefore is quasi-isometric to and cannot be a quasi-tree. This supplies an example for every .
