The name canoewood refers to the trees use for construction of dugout canoes by Eastern Native Americans, for which its fine grain and large trunk size is eminently suited.
Maximum circumferences for the tulip poplar is between 24 and 30 feet at breast height, although a few historical specimens may have been slightly larger. Today, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park has the greatest population of tulip trees, 20-feet and over in circumference. The largest volume tulip tree known anywhere is the Sag Branch Giant, which has a trunk and limb volume approaching 4,000 cubic feet. Visit the link below, for more information about the tulip tree. This particular tree measures 23 feet 8 inches at the base. We found it while exploring another cemetery in the area. There are several other very large trees at the cemetery as well. We would love to see pictures of cachers inside the tree. This is OPTIONAL, it is not a requirement to log the cache. You do not have to go onto the posted land that borders part of the cemetery. Parking is always available and so is the cache. *** CONGRATULATIONS TO JOCKSTER ON HIS FTF !!! *** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liriodendron_tulipifera
