What page would that be, both on GP as well as WP? I´d like to have a look at both to see where they differ.

"El Palo Alto"

As an example of how bogus this is:

    ... ensuring its projected lifespan extends at least 300 more years

Not found in the given source and I have no clue where this came from.

    By the mid-1990s, diagnoses confirmed heart rot and advanced decay in the core, exacerbating risks of limb failure and overall toppling without external support.

Can't find any reference in the cited sources to heart rot or advanced decay; I think it's a fabrication and it's inconsistent with arborists' descriptions of the tree's health. Googling "el palo alto" "heart rot" gives no relevant results.

etc. etc.; the issue is that a lot of these are plausible, yet wrong.
