About L. tulipifera
High on the tree, the large, upright, tulip-like flowers are pale green or yellow with dashes of red and orange. They provide large quantities of nectar for pollinators in early summer. Each new glossy leaf emerges from a protective envelope carefully folded like origami and unfolds as it matures.
About Tulip Tree
Stately tree with a trunk so straight and fine-grained that tribes such as the Delaware made dugout canoes from a single trunk. Great for large open spaces. It takes a number of years for the flowers to appear after planting. Marginally hardy here. The botanical name is Greek for “lily tree.”
