Excellent. I have mentioned this before, but we've got several 11 foot street trees (Tuliptree) in Egg Harbor City. But I have no idea how tall they are. South Jersey and the Pine Barrens is not known for tall trees. Barry

I didn't recall the height of the trees until today. This park has the greatest concentration of tulip-trees in the area, making up over 75% of the canopy in many areas. Measured individuals 140'+, using the "straight up" method with a laser, in heavy canopy cover. I'm confident at leaf drop I'll find 150' tulips, which would be exceptional for northern Ohio. CBH of tulips measured to 10'11'', but larger ones obvious. Large red and black oaks also, and a rich herbaceous cover. Ed, Randy, if you visit northern Ohio again sometime, this would be a good place to visit--great trees and very accessible.
