Liriodendron tulipifera

(Tulip Tree)

Liriodendron tulipifera is a firm favourite with all the staff at Deepdale Trees. This a large, fast growing and long lived tree, can reach to more than 35m high with tall straight stems.

Its deciduous, 3 lobed, fresh green leaves are totally unique, appearing to have been cut off at the top. The light grey corky bark often forms intricate patterns of vertical ridges in old age. The autumn colour is a fantastic golden yellow. Older trees produce exquisite yellow/green tulip shaped flowers in early summer.

This plants tolerance of pollution, makes it a great urban tree where space permits. Ideally it requires a moist fertile soil.

Liriodendron tulipifera is available from Deepdale Trees as a Standard, Feathered or Multistem plant.
