Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera)
The Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) is a magnificent, fast-growing, deciduous tree native to the eastern United States. It is known for its large, tulip-shaped flowers, which bloom in shades of yellow and green from late spring to early summer. The Tulip Poplar is a valuable source of nectar and pollen for bees and butterflies, and its seeds are a favorite food of many birds. The bark of the Tulip Poplar has been used by Native Americans for medicinal purposes, and it is also a popular choice for woodworking.

Pollination:
The Tulip Poplar is a monoecious plant, meaning that it has both male and female flowers on the same tree. However, the male and female flowers mature at different times, so the Tulip Poplar is self-sterile and requires cross-pollination to produce. See our Pollination page for more information on cross-pollination varieties and requirements!
