Add item to quote to see pricing

Liriodendron tulipfera is revered as the regal Tulip Tree, a testament to nature's grandeur and artistry. Stretching from 60 to 90 feet in height, it etches its iconic silhouette against the sky, its sweeping canopy extending up to 50 feet. Its stature alone is a spellbinding spectacle, yet the Tulip Tree truly earns its name from its unique, cup-shaped blossoms. These flowers, a kaleidoscope of vivid yellow-orange hues, unfurl in late spring, punctuating your garden with a delightful burst of seasonal color. The tree's foliage, too, commands interest with its four-lobed, emerald green leaves, which undertake a dramatic transformation to a rich golden yellow in the embrace of autumn. Renowned for its swift growth rate, the Tulip Tree is an eye-catching vertical accent or natural boundary marker in gardens requiring full sun exposure. It stands as a versatile and robust charm despite its requirement for attentive maintenance, including deep fertile soil and regular hydration. Adorn your landscape with the Tulip Tree and experience the wonder of nature's palette across seasons.
