Michael Wheeler: Summer heat is causing tulip poplar trees to shed leaves early
Placeholder Image
During the past week or two, I have noticed the tulip poplars around the county losing their leaves. Tulip poplar or yellow poplar is a fast-growing tree that typically is one of the first trees to grow into a newly disturbed site. But they can live for 150-250 years and are often found in areas that have not been disturbed for decades.
