A tulip tree reminds me of a "poor man's" Mallorn! They grow very straight and tall. The branches are not overly long or "bendy" and grow out in neatly spaced intervals from the main trunk. They would be perfect for flet building! The leaves are largish, they look sort of like a sycamore leave, only smooth, not jagged. They have a small, orange flower in the spring, that resembles a tulip. You usually don't notice them, except when they litter the ground under the tree for a brief period. I planted a few nine years ago and they are at least 30 feet tall already! (Cellular shades are expensive window shades that give an "insulating" layer to windows.) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I like the $3.95 price on my old hardbound Hobbit! The paperbacks must have been $.95!
