I would like to map every vertex of my TreeGraph to an List.

g=TreeGraph[{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, {1 \[DirectedEdge] 2, 1 \[DirectedEdge] 3, 
  1 \[DirectedEdge] 4, 1 \[DirectedEdge] 5}, 
 VertexWeight -> {{1}, {4}, {9}, {16}, {25}}]

It seems that g is not a valid graph whereas the next one is valid

gg=TreeGraph[{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, {1 \[DirectedEdge] 2, 1 \[DirectedEdge] 3, 
  1 \[DirectedEdge] 4, 1 \[DirectedEdge] 5}, 
 VertexWeight -> {1, 4, 9, 16, 25}]

So it seems that we can't use a List as a Weight of a Vertex.

But the VertexWeight documentation says clearly

The weight can be any expression.

So I don't understant why gg works well whereas g doesn't work.

Best Regards

    $\begingroup$ Looks like List is treated as an exception for some reason. VertexWeight -> foo /@ {1,4,16,25,} works as stated in the docs. As an aside, if you really have to use Lists as weights, you could use VertexWeight -> (Defer /@ {{1}, {4}, {9}, {16}, {25}}) . $\endgroup$
