When it comes to stone hunting you have met the wizard!

Classy Black Rat.White Chin,Shinny scales and kinky posture dead give away,also head scalation distinctive too

I"ll say Red Maple

I have never heard that.I had always read southern Delaware was their northern limit.I"d like to know where this native forest is in cape may County.This is the first I"ve heard of it.

Sad but true

There are half a dozen cypress in Greenwich Cumberland County.One is in a private yard visible from rd and several other quite large cypress are on the historical Society property next to the old swedish cabin

Not Sure but I think your the one Guy who told me where those two trees are.

Now I never heard that.I assumed it was planted or you'd think there would be more of them.It is in a wild location but how would it get there with no cypress within many miles? I don't know if the nuts are eaten by birds? I doubt those nuts could survive a salt water journey up from Delmarva.

I know the Big one on Sluice Creek. I also know a few in Cumberland County and a couple in Wharton.All Planted of course

One Tree that you will find in Cape May County and in Cumberland especially in the vicinity if salt marshes is Loblolly Pine.I"ve never noticed them in the Barrens and Cape may is supposedly their northern limit but they are in Cumberland as well.

Now I have to measure those trees at Fries Mill.They seem close to that big.I also know where two monstrous oaks are that I haven't measured yet.One on an island in a swamp that looks like possibly someone may have lived on long ago.Both are white oaks

Persimmon bark is quite distinctive and we do have some monsters down here.There are some huge persimmon trees growing s]around the remains of the old Fries Mill (Potters) tavern.Also so big you can hardly see the leaves.

Persimmon

Tulip Poplar?

Swamp White Oak?

Now thats more like it though I would go as far to say that we shouldn't even need a sign for that.Every one knows rocks are slippery and water can drown you or at least people old enough to read the signs do.Then again we live in a world where people have to be told not to eat Tide Pods.
