Liriodendron tulipifera

Tulip Tree

The distinctive, bright green leaves which turn to a golden-yellow colour in the fall showcase the beautiful, tulip-shaped flowers of yellow with an orange band at the base of each petal. This can become a very large, pyramidal to broad, spreading tree, so allow room to grow.

  • »  Yellow-green tulip-like flowers bloom after the leaves are fully developed, with some dried bracts persisting into winter
  • »  Four-lobed bright green leaves turn golden-yellow in the fall
  • »  Bloom Time: May to June

Growing & Maintenance Tips for Liriodendron tulipifera

Intriguing flowers are usually found high up in the branches, frequently hidden by the leaves. Lingering groupings of samaras (seed bearers) add winter interest. Ideal for large landscape areas and park settings.
