• New enough (mainspaced Jul 8), long enough (1900 B), well-sourced, no copyvio (Earwig says 12.3%). Article itself is interesting, so the hook is interesting, but I would definitely choose ALT0 rather than ALT1. ALT0 verified in source, so approved. It's too bad we don't have a free photo of the tree, as this would've been a fun image hook. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 23:47, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
