Tulip Poplar – (Liriodendron tulipifera) is one of the most attractive and tallest hardwood trees native to eastern North America.  The Tulip Poplars thrive throughout the United States in a variety of climates and temperature extremes.  Used as a shade tree for large landscapes as it can reach 60 – 90 feet in height with a 30 to 50 foot spread.  A fast growing well formed shade tree and a popular best seller.

 In spring, you suddenly notice some yellow tulip shaped flowers on your tree and by the next day it is smothered in thousands of blooms that emit a delightful nectar fragrance.  During summer you enjoy a beautiful well shaped green shade tree. In the fall, four-lobed bright green leaves (to 8” across) turn golden yellow.   When other trees are turning brown, your Tulip Poplar tree “pops” with bright yellow leaves.  A tree for all seasons.

The perfect tree for wildlife lovers!  Birds – including ruby-throated hummingbirds, cardinals and finches – and other small wildlife… are drawn to the blooms and sweet smelling nectar.

The Tulip Poplar is highly resistant to disease and insects, making this a healthy tree that will provide a lifetime of enjoyment.  Easy to grow and thrives in almost all areas! Highly adaptable to a variety of soils – even grows in wet soil!  In open areas, the Tulip Poplar will grow into a majestic cone shape making it an attractive front yard shade tree.  Grows it in full sun to partial shade in zones 4-9.
