3.75” tall by 3.5” diameter. 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 contrast between the cream colored sapwood and the greenish as well as almost black colored heartwood.
