Interesting hook. Very criptic. In fact, even in the article the Sorbus x houstoniae isn't defined as an actual tree until the second paragraph. However, the "Bristol's Best Kept Secret" refers to a name of the festival (by the look of it), not the tree itself. Everything else seems to be in order apparently.

Thanks for the review. It was a contest to determine "Bristol's Best Kept Secret" and each film maker made a film proposing that their subject was "Bristol's Best Kept Secret." (BBKS) If you review the film (it's super short), it's proposed at the end that Houston's Whitebeam is "BBKS." Anne (talk) 06:08, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

We need an inline citation confirming that the tree has been proposed to be picked as the best kept secret of Bristol in a film. I'm not interested in reviewing the actual film right now. If you cannot provide a suitable source stating that fact, change the hook please. Poeticbent talk 14:02, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Oh, well. I knew the film was an unconventional source, but I thought it was a cute hook. Here's a hook with conventional sources:

ALT1 good to go. Poeticbent talk 15:30, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
