LIRIODENDRON TULIPIFERA
Grower Notes:
Liriodendron tulipifera is commonly known as the Tulip Tree, Yellow Poplar or Tulip Poplar. It is a very large, pyramidal to broad, fast-growing deciduous tree. It is named for its tulip-like flowers that bloom in spring. Flowers are yellow with an orange streak at the base of each petal. Unique star-shaped foliage is waxy and a smooth emerald green in summer, turning a beautiful golden yellow in fall.
The Tulip Tree has a long, straight trunk that spreads with age. The bark is smooth and dark green when young. As it matures, white furrows develop. It enjoys full sun in rich, moist, well-drained soils. It needs a large area to thrive and grow.
