Long long time ago I wrote my first English essay with title "The Importance of Torch Bearers" without knowing it is English expression for progressive people. My American teacher was very impressed (I wrote it, as I wanted to make impression :)) and took that writing for himself. After decades I do not remember what I wrote, just for whom :))
Sorry, just memories. Yes, so this tree I always call "torch-bearer".

Do you have photo, Crissue? By the way, how are your guinea pigs doing? I have only one now, very old, sick lady, who is blind. I sometimes take her from the cage and stroke her gently, as I feel her ribs (in spite she eats a lot, she doesn´t have teeth anymore). Yesterday she looked face to my face and it was very strange, as if she saw me, but she is blind. Poor creature, too old to enjoy life. How about yours?

They are doing fine...awww so sorry to hear your old lady is poorly, it is nice if you can cuddly her, she will be very aware of you, by smell, even though she is blind....
