Never Seen One of These Until Today, Solved Tulip Poplar

[chipper1]

Or should I say the first time I've noticed one of these. This was just east of Grand Rapids MI growing along a creek, was around 26" DBH.
Thanks,

Tulip poplar. They're everywhere in my neck of the woods and they get huge.

Not everywhere so far, but, it's starting.
I was out bidding a landscape job and was checking out a tree looking for roots near the work area, wouldn't you know, tulip poplar .
Thanks Again guys.

You'll begin to recognize them from a great distance based on texture and habit.

Thanks.
I figure it's like most things, the more we give care to pay attention the more we learn.
Funny when you buy a new car it seems everyone has one.

It's like a gigantic plant. Tying into large diameter tie in points is always a good idea.
