I can see your comment in my e-mail, but not on this page.<br /><br />To answer your question, I talked to Pam Williams with the City of Bowie museums, and here is what she said:<br /><br /><i>We have, if I recall correctly, two still on the mansion grounds. The past couple of years – hurricanes, storms and disease…not to mention age – have taken a toll. However, as I look out my window, across the street, I am comforted to see that those "over-sized lots with the kids playing beneath the tulip trees" still have a fairly good stand of them. We watch the two retrievers owned by a really nice couple who walk them up here occasionally romping back there. Those trees are on private property – there is no easement or city maintenance of them. <br /><br />We had to take down the one closest to Tulip Grove Drive about 4-5 years ago. It was so rotten inside, hollow WAY up into it, city was concerned that it would fall over on somebody – probably was miraculous that it did not. Hurricane took down the one that was closest to the south back side of the house.</i>Bowie Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09656054601003840365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213706437407065905.post-75967395545768322592010-03-16T12:18:09.990-04:002010-03-16T12:18:09.990-04:00Are the tulip grove trees still there?Are the tulip grove trees still there?AbbotOfUnreasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08484573287776114988noreply@blogger.com
