Tulip Poplar, MY FAVORITE HONEY. is very dark, but it has a very positive
"trademark" that identifies it.  Hold a jar of it up to sun, and real tulip
poplar will have a definite reddish or maroon color to it.  If t is not
reddish, you have something else which is not tulip poplar.

In addition to a wonderful taste, real tulip poplar is quite high in fructose
and lower in glucose. Hence, it will keep for years WITHOUT crystallizing.
It used to be the NUMBER 1 honey in Maryland, but urban growth, and the road
building destroyed
a lot of our woods that were filled with T. P. trees.

I hope I have helped.
