Excerpt from The Native Trees of Rhode Island
Rhode Island is a natural forest region. Its conditions of cli mate and soil are highly favorable to a varied arboreal growth. Few continuous tracts of no greater extent in this country produce so many species of native trees as are found within the limits of Rhode Island. The effect of the south shore currents and the Narragansett Bay is to moderate the climate for quite a distance inland. This condition gives certain trees, whose range is gener ally farther south, a congenial habitat here. Thus we have, in the southern line of towns, the pin oak, rarely, if ever, found else where so far north. There is one locality of the pos oak, near the north shore of Wickford harbor, the farthest point north for which the tree has been reported. So, that fine ornamental tree, the tulip, thrives vigorously here, not only as planted from nursery stock, but is growing as a stately, native tree in a few localities. Its. General range is from Pennsylvania south to the Gulf States.
