Might be measuring it for champion tree status. I can't find much info from the website the photo is from.

Looks like it is the second largest Tulip tree in Nantahala Pisgah National Forest.

Here's a big one for you, in the Joyce Kilmer Forest, also in western N. C.
AMAZING big trees there.

I used to travel through Joyce Kilmer up to Robinsville up through the Cherohala skyway. Beautiful country.
