Likely will know by Monday at 10am if they are making this a heritage tree here....... Sounds like they will for sure...... The conservation authority can have the seeds once the fruit on the tree that holds the seeds is ready.
there are so many hybrids of the tulip tree here but this one is a species ........that was identified by the age and the way the flowers are colored and so on........ also the hybrids can not reproduce and the species can.............
this is the only species tree known for a long way away from me.............so the seeds for conservation are important.......
today spent most of the day dealing with arborists and also with a big nursery head that mastered in forestry and so on....
tons of interest, the tree goes into the local paper next Wednesday and if it is a heritage tree it goes on the TV .
pretty cool
I will pass and not be as important as my tree is............
the tree is approx. 80 years and can live well over 250 years..........right now it is bloom from the top to the bottom
and it is really known as a lily tree..............
