It's Carolinian!

This is me at the towering Tulip tree on the Lower Trail in Marcy Woods, Fort Erie. There are other specimens of this Carolinian tree in the Woods. The species is the state tree of North Carolina . The Marcy tract is one of many areas designated Carolinian Canada in Southern Ontario. Point Pelee, Rondeau Park, Backus Woods, and Long Point are some o the Carolinian sites. See Brad Cundiff's book - Walks in Carolinian Canada. It is a great source. However, Marcy Woods is privately owned by the DiCienzo family of Niagara Falls, Ontario. Want a walk there? E-mail me at plato1@cogeco.ca. I'll arrange a hike.
