   They found that Tulip Trees, which are related to magnolias and can grow over 100 feet tall, have this unique type of wood. This discovery may explain why the trees, which diverged from magnolias when earth's atmospheric CO 2 concentrations were relatively low, grow so tall and so fast.

   Why are tulip trees accumulator-wood?

   • In tulip trees, these macrofibrils are much larger than those found in their hardwood relatives. This unique structure, which the researchers have dubbed “midwood” or “accumulator-wood,” may explain the tulip tree’s remarkable ability to capture and store carbon.
