Penn Hill Friends Meeting House, 2239 Robert Fulton Highway, Peach\u00a0Bottom PA<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This may be the largest Tupelo in Lancaster County. \u00a0Indeed, if this tree were listed at\u00a0Champion Trees of Pennsylvania\u00a0<\/em>(pabigtrees.com)<\/a>, it would be tied for the 4th largest Tupelo in the entire state. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 this\u00a0N. sylvatica<\/em>\u00a0measured roughly 10 feet 3 inches in trunk circumference; 50 feet in spread; and a towering 80-85 feet in height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second photo shows the Black Gum’s small fruit (not yet ripe) which is a valuable energy food for birds, especially the American Robin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This amazing species can surpass 650 years in age and is thus the longest living flowering plant in Eastern North America (not counting clonal plants).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
