Seedlings from the Davie Poplar
In 1993, seedlings from UNC's Davie Poplar were presented to sixth-grade essay winners from each county in North Carolina, to be planted on the students' school grounds. Various university officials, alumni, and others, including descendants of William Davie, received 45 more seedlings. You might have learned about this project in a recent article in Our State magazine (ourstate.com/rooted-in-knowledge). We would like an update! Are those trees still growing? Are there any interesting stories about these trees? If you know a Davie Poplar descendant, please complete this form. Thank you!
