Symbol question.svg Interesting sad tree story, on good sources, offline source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed, but I'm afraid shows almost nothing in stamp size. Please think about rewording hooks you care about with that possibility in mind. I like the original best, but would try not to pipe the trees name. I find the other names also more pittoresk than this image. The ALTs would need mentioning that this Larder is veteran tree. - Could you please give the images a commons category? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:40, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
OK here's a few ALTS:
