ground truth

The tree read with Biopython, every path from the root to a tip added up from its branch lengths, and the children of every node counted. The checks only read the brackets. Whether a cultivar sits beside its relatives is not checked here, and the post of 14 October looks at that by eye. How it is scored, and this run's files on GitHub.
