It's a keeper for sure. Two nice big maples out front, hackberry and tulip poplar on the north side, majestic white oak way out back and a yuge sawtooth oak hanging over the chicken coop. They're all a good safe distance from the house. Trees are worth their weight in gold IMO just for the shade, birds, squirrels etc. I love trees when they're in the right place.

Some of those have good value. Have an 8' butt here that I was told weighs 5500 lbs. Two guys want it but can't haul it. Shame to firewood it. It bloomed same time as big leaf maple and yes the bees loved it. It was cute when small, and dangerous when big.
I thought yellow poplar was the one that grew on Allegheny River ridges and different than tulip. Always interesting tree / plant topics.

We just call them poplar in these parts and we have lots of them. Young ones or small branches make great beaver bait sticks. They love them.
