Hope you like the tulip poplar better then we do. They drop stuff all
year round, start losing their leaves 2 mos earlier than the other
trees(in Aug here in DE, big leaves in the pool) and drop these huge
needle like things from the center of the blossom, and on one end of
the needle like thingy there is a huge barb that is a bitch to step
on. We are having the 2 nearest the house taken down, at great expense
as they are 60 feet tall. One of them had a whole large section die
off this year. They are too close to the house to take a chance if it
is dying.
Good Luck, Nan in DE
