Tulip Popular? I started finding these pods on the ground then came to an area with a lot more around. I found the with leaves attached but they really wilted over night. The tree was about 30"+ in diameter, probably 40'+ to the first limb.   First attempt at imgur. |

How tall do they get? Had a volunteer grow in my front yard where we used to have a flower bed. It was in the mulch I got from a friend. It's about 35 foot tall now. Been several years ago.

The tree was every bit as tall as the oaks around it. Maybe 70 feet or so.
OK what is the difference between it and Yellow Popular? I have a box call with Yellow Popular sides and a walnut paddle that will reach out over any wind. Sounds great too.

That tree would make a LOT of calls then. |

I have a ton of poplars in my yard. They seem to always lose their leaves the earliest, and are constantly dropping limbs. I never have noticed any squirrels cutting on them, but I also have a bunch of oaks and hickory to keep them occupied.

Yep. Always seemed to me that at least in our area, the poplars were a "second choice" food source. If the hickories were on time in ripening, there wouldn't be much activity in the poplars, but in a year when the hickories and the oaks were making little or no mast, the poplars seemed to feed every squirrel in the area.
