contents We study the following problem that is motivated by demand-aware network design: Given a tree~$G$, the task is to find a binary tree~$H$ on the same vertex set. The objective is to minimize the sum of distances in~$H$ between vertex pairs that are adjacent in~$G$. We present a linear-time factor-4 approximation for this problem.
