Trees and Tens by Arlo Lipof https://tinyurl.com/SudokuSleuthTreesTens

Rules:

- Normal Sudoku rules apply. - For each tree (represented by a green cell) in the grid, place one tent which is orthogonally adjacent to it. Tents may not be orthogonally or even diagonally adjacent to one another but may be adjacent to multiple trees. Black clues on top and on the left of the grid indicate the number of tents in each row or column. - Each pair of trees and tents sum to 10. All such pairs are given, i.e. no other pair of orthogonally adjacent digits sum to 10. - Red clues at the bottom and on the right of the grid are X-sums indicating the sum of the digits of the first X cells in their row or column, where X is the digit placed in the first cell in that direction.
