I am trying to print the space occupied by directories (two levels down). The size listed is not accurate. For instance large_child_folder is 150 GB. How do I get the real directory size?
tree -L 2 -d --du -sh
.
├── [8.0K] parent_folder
│  └── [4.0K] large_child_folder
└── [8.0K] another_parent_folder
└── [4.0K] another_large_child_folder
The answer @ Print size of directory content with tree command in tree 1.5? doesn't seem correct.

The following command will provide a human readable information, on the size of all directories which are up-to depth of 2 levels of directories below the current directory:
du --max-depth=2 -h
du - estimate file space usage - man
--max-depth=N print the total for a directory only if it is N or fewer levels below the command line argument
-h, --human-readable print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)

you can use dutree
- coloured output, according to the LS_COLORS environment variable.
- display the file system tree
- ability to aggregate small files
- ability to exclude files or directories
- ability to compare different directories
- fast, written in Rust
