The Tulip Tree is a large,
magnificent, stately tree that is renowned for its regal form and its beautiful,
unique blossoms. It is a tall tree with
a columnar trunk and upright, curving branches. The trunk has ridged, light
brown bark and it may be Fast of branches for much of its length so that it
resembles a Greek column. It is the largest hardwood tree that is native to eastern
North America. It can grow up to 180 feet in height and with a thick trunk that
can be several feet in diameter. In the spring, it has large, goblet-shaped
flowers that are unlike the flowers of any other tree. The flowers are light
green or pale yellow with an orange band and the base of each petal. The flowers
resemble the blossoms of a tulip, and so the tree is called the Tulip Tree. The leaves of the Tulip Tree are also unique.
They are medium or bright green and very lush in appearance. They have four
lobes or they are unlobed and they have a squarish apex. Leaves are deciduous
and they turn golden yellow in the autumn. Flowers are followed by dry, scaly,
oblong, cone-shaped brown fruits, each bearing numerous winged seeds. The Tulip
Tree is related to the magnolias and, like them, it is also an ancient and very
primitive flowering plant. It is widely grown as a specimen tree, a shade tree,
a street tree and as a flowering tree. Avenues lined with rows of large Tulip Trees
are very beautiful. It is also called the Yellow Poplar. Wood is used for
furniture, plywood, boatbuilding, paper pulp and general lumber. Native
Americans made dugout canoes from Tulip Tree trunks. This is the state tree of
Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana.
