Gender of adjectives

Hello,

I was wondering, for this question:

Il y a un ________ arbre près de la vieille fenêtre.


why the answer is vieil and not vieux, like from the list on adjectives that go before nouns?

This question relates to:French lesson "Beau, nouveau, vieux, fou, mou have two masculine forms and one feminine form (French Adjectives)"

Before a masculine noun starting with a vowel hence vieil.
