Daily dose of Nippi… Second one was a miss but I kind of liked it anyway.

I agree, they are great trees. We have quite a few of them on our property. The one giving me trouble was very mature when our house was build 28 years ago and is huge. Now becoming a hazard to the house and just had a quote last month of $2500 to take down. So I am not "liking" it now as much as I used to.
Do you know how many lenses or film I could get with $2500?

George,
We call our Popular (which it is) "trash tree" a "Tulip Tree". I got it when it was a No2 pencil size shoot from a cussing woman weeding the seedlings out of her front yard under a gloriously in bloom "trash tree". I thought it was beautiful, and planted it over our abandoned septic field. Today it is about 50-60 feet high and close to two feet in diameter. Unlike many short lived Populars, Tulip trees last 200-250 years. I think the spent flower petals add ambience to my deck - like peanut shells on the floor at a neighborhood pub. It's all in how you look at it like the saying - "one man's trash is another mans treasure." I like watching the birds and squirrels playing in it's branches, and it took almost no effort on my part to start the process - just time.

Nice series Jim. Your Poplar tree is a few weeks behind ours. Our “trash trees” have finally dropped all their mess and we are now able to enjoy the back deck
