It was written:
Tulip Poplars are Very prone to Lightning hits. I have quite few on my
place that show evidence of hits above 40-50 ft. A Tulip Poplar that has
been hit will show a "Y" or a "Zag" where the top was when it was hit.
and I wonder:
Why would one species of tree be more likely to be hit by lightning
than another? Unless perhaps there is a stand of one species in a
higher location than other trees?
