Larry, I would guess these giants are the product of 250-350+ years of excellent growing conditions. I would never believe they are the oldest tuliptrees in the woods- just those with the perfect combination of site/growth and disturbance conditions. Add some time and bam! A huge tree!

I agree your reports are among the best on ENTS. Those Tulips are HUGE! Great photos to! You guys look so small standing next to those giants. What age would you say the trees are when they become that size range? 2-300 years? Heating up down south today 85, going to Breaux Bridge La., lots of Live Oaks down this way should get some good stuff. I'll make sure I eat enough Gumbo, Crawfish and Alligator for ya.
