Scientists found "midwood," a new wood type in tulip trees that stores carbon efficiently, offering a new way to combat climate change.
Sweetbay or Tuliptree silkmoth. I'm inclined to go with the former just because of the sheer amount of magnolias around here compared to tuliptrees. It's a female and unfortunately laid eggs in the container I caught them in last night.
The trees I planted (many from seed) around the house - pecans, persimmon, red oak (Mississippi seed source), black locust, linden, sycamore and on the east side of the house tuliptree, zelkova. Fruit + nut trees - apple, peach, apricot, hazelnut, pawpaw, chestnut, pear.

I don't think I had ever seen these (they're not too common up here) until a couple of years ago I noticed there was a stand of them near the "Pioneer Memorial Tower". I have to assume they were brought here with the Pennsylvania Dutch in the late 1700s, or planted more recently in memory of them.
Yellow-poplar or tuliptree, Liriodendron tulipifera, is beautiful, abundant, and both ecologically and commercially important in Appalachian forests, forming pure stands after farmland abandonment. Though commonly called called poplar, it is related to magnolias, not to true poplars (Populus).
