A naturalist
in Mill Neck, NY says a tulip tree on Long Island stretches 167 feet into the sky.
That would make it the tallest tree in New York State!
Environmentalist
consultant Daniel Karpen arrived at the tree to measure it with a clinometer.
The 100 year old tulip tree measured 34 inches in diameter.
Currently,
the Native Tree Society reports that the tallest tree in New York State is a
158.3 foot white pine in Adirondack Park. The tallest recorded tulip tree is in
Zoar Valley coming in 156 feet.
There are no
official records kept on tree height!
