Poplar Appeal | Our State - Large format

Naturalist, herbalist and storyteller Doug Elliott shares some of the surprising uses of the tulip poplar tree. As the largest North American hardwood, these trees are related to the magnolia family with flowers yielding more nectar per flower than any North American plant. Industrious bees use the nectar to tremendous effect over the tree’s blooming season, sometimes making more than 100 pounds of honey per hive! Meet Doug and enjoy the crafts and lore of this remarkable plant.
