Tulip poplar at Bush Hill. Thanks, Brad, for this photo. This tulip poplar tree is about 20 feet tall at this time. From Wikipedia: "The tulip tree is one of the largest of the native trees of eastern North America, known in an extraordinary case to reach the height of 192 ft. These heights are comparable to the very tallest known eastern white pines, another species often described as the tallest in eastern North America."
