Steve,
Awesome. That tulip is exploiting the seep soils and ample water associated with its position in the ravine. What is the latitude of the tuliptree? You may have measured the northern most extremely tall tulip that we have documented in ENTS. If so, its height would take on added significance. I'm really hoping to spend some quality Ohio time next summer. I'm looking forward to connecting with you and Randy out there. I am green with envy of that beech.

The first shows the narrow valley landscape typical of the area, the second shows a Tuliptree measured to 157', (and larger in diameter than the tallest measured), and the third shows the 143.6' Beech(in center of photo, mid-distance). There are lots of small deep coves to be explored in this area, with the depth of the small valleys increasing the heights of the trees. I think it might be possible to break 160' for Tuliptree---they are by far the most dominant and conspicuous tree in the area. This will be a good Winter project. Interestingly, Sugar and Black Maple were present, but scarce. Norway Maple was intruding, along with burning bush and Japanese Holly.

Can't wait for the full report. Thanks to you and Randy, the Ohio team is really making significant contributions. Thanks from the rest of us.

It was a great day, with sunshine and 70F--very unusual for Northern Ohio in mid-November. The steep narrow valleys of the park, which lead into the Cuyahoga River floodplain, lend themselves to tall trees. Together Randy and I discovered a 158.1 Tuliptree, Randy found a 143.6' Beech, and many other tall trees. We'll soon have a Rucker Index for the site.
