This species produces the tallest trees east of the Mississippi River. The tallest in the world is the Fork Ridge Tulip tree in a secret location in the smoky mountains of Western North Carolina and tops out at a whopping 192’ tall, and that was in 2011. In the spring, this species produces a flower in the branches that looks like a small tulip. In this piece, you can see the lighter colored sapwood as well as the darker colored heartwood involving the greenish colored sections as well as the darker, almost purple streak showing some of the variety in heartwood that this species often offers.
