Interesting Seed Pod from A Tree

Saturday, December 1, 2012

I picked up this beautiful pod from the deck of my real estate listing. I hope the tree that produced it survived the storm and is still standing in the spring so I can identify the species.

Karen L. said...: Love the photos on your blog! Often, I wish I lived in or had whatever you are showing. I believe this pod is from a Tulip Poplar tree. We have tons of them in NC and they drop a pod that looks like your photo. Hope things smooth out with your Mom. I know from experience that what you are doing is difficult and mentally exhausting sometimes so make sure to take care of yourself too. By the way, although I am in NC now, I was born and raised in southern NJ.; December 1, 2012 at 8:06 PM

Happy to tell you that the wonderful seed pod which i always pick up and save because I love them is a tulip poplar.; December 1, 2012 at 8:37 PM
