We have 10 to 11 footers all over Egg Harbor City (street trees). I've heard that my maternal grandmother planted street trees in Egg Harbor City when she was a kid. She died in 2003, aged 98. I have sent photos of two different 11 foot + Tuliptrees in Egg Harbor City so far. This is New Jersey, by the way.

I was amazed it had reached such a size! By the way, I haven't forgotten I'd said I would measure that tuliptree at my next door neighbor's front yard... but as soon as you (or someone else?) had mentioned keeping an eye out for tuliptrees of 7 feet or so in girth or bigger... well, my neighbor's tuliptree is probably only about 4 feet or so... still a big one, in my book, but probably not ENTS-worthy... as Billy Pilgrim says, "so it goes!"
