@Nick:

Thanks for the explanation, it's very kind of you!

@John:

You are right, this actually works. However, this will also exclude the
trees
whose property value is empty, for example, the following tree will be
excluded,
which will not be excluded if "myproperty<>nil" syntax works:

* Tree
:PROPERTIES:
:myproperty:
:END:

But there's probably no point to have such empty property after all. So you
approach is acceptable. Thanks!

Regards,

York
