Tulip Poplar

Liriodendron tulipifera Tulip Poplar 2" B&B

Liriodendron tulipifera

Tulip Poplar is one of the taller growing native tree in our forests and woods. It is a very straight growing tree with a columanar habit. Tulip Poplar has flowers in the spring that are tulip shaped followed by large, emerald green leaves that are shaped much like a cat's face! Tulip Poplar is one of the first trees to turn its fall color which is yellow and during dry summers it will turn yellow as well. Tulip Poplar is a stately liiking tree and could be used in park settings or in the lawns of buildings and homes where the height of the tree will not overwhelm the structure.
