I'll never forget how impressed my Dad was that President Jefferson had a giant Tulip Poplar next to his mansion at Monticello. Back in the late sixties it was a mighty tree too. I had never seen my Dad so animated.
When he was in the CCC program before WWII, he was sent to Northern California to help the lumberjacks cut giant Redwoods but his favorite was always the Tulip Poplar. My dad had already passed away a few years before we moved into the house we are still in with three giant Tulip Poplars in the yard.
Good story; tx.
I had to look it up. Beautiful trees. Now I’m seriously considering planting one.
