Tulip Tree – Liriodendron Tulipifera Live Plant

Tulip Tree – Liriodendron Tulipifera Live Plant | 6–10 Inches Tall | 1 Quart Pot | Native Fast Growing Shade Tree | Yellow Poplar

Add a magnificent native shade tree to your landscape with this live Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), also commonly known as Tuliptree or Yellow Poplar. This impressive deciduous tree is prized for its distinctive tulip-shaped foliage, fast growth, beautiful flowers, and brilliant golden-yellow autumn color.

Your young Tulip Tree measures approximately 6–10 inches tall and arrives established in a 1-quart nursery pot. With proper care and adequate growing space, it can develop into a substantial shade tree ideal for large yards, native landscapes, wildlife gardens, and specimen plantings.

Mature trees produce unusual greenish-yellow, tulip-like flowers accented with orange markings from late spring into early summer. These flowers can attract bees and other visiting pollinators. During autumn, the bright green foliage transforms into attractive shades of golden yellow.

Because Tulip Trees become very large at maturity, they are best planted where they have plenty of room to develop their canopy and root system.

Mulching around the root zone can help conserve moisture, but keep mulch away from direct contact with the trunk.
