Liriodendron tulipifera
tuliptree, tulip poplar
Tulip poplars are incredibly fast-growing trees, with truly uniquely shaped leaves. This speedy, versatile tree produces large, slightly rubbery yellow, orange, and bright green tulip-like flowers in early spring. This species is a great choice for any spot that can accommodate its vertiginous heights.
