ENTS- Jenny, it really is a nice park-I had forgotten how nice it was. George, the park is about 1000 acres, and has a very rich species content--red, white, & black oaks; magnolia; hackberry; sugar, red, and silver maples; black walnut and butternut; pignut and bitternut hickories; sycamore; cottonwood and basswood all achieve canopy height, so a RI will be easy to record. Randy, the tallest tulips were in the 2'-3' diameter range--if I can break 150 here' in N Ohio, I'd be very happy. Barry, I hope I'll get to New Jersey to see your area--it sounds really neat.
