Beaty Street Trees

Today I visited some of my favorite trees in the Beaty St. Woods here in Davidson, NC.  My friends helped me take some measurements and I took some pictures of the trees.  I thought you might like hearing about the trees I visited.  If you would like to know more you can comment at the end of this post and ask questions about the trees.  You could also come to the Beaty St. Woods and visit these trees and many others.  Maybe I'll be able to post a map that shows where these particular trees are soon.  But today I'll just show you the trees.  As spring comes there will be more to see.

I'm a Tulip Poplar and I'm 7 feet 7 inches in circumference
