For an impressive shade tree that makes an enormous impact on the landscape, try this gorgeous native hardwood tree with a long foothold in American history! However, we do have a confession to make. During the Revolutionary War, the Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) is commonly planted as "Liberty trees" that were immediately cut down when found by the British soldiers. George Washington even featured them at his Mount Vernon estate. The Tulip tree is so beautiful, that museums and botanical gardens across the country have Tulip Tree walks, where paths are lined with these remarkable trees.

Just take a good look at the photos and you'll understand why it's nicknamed the Tulip tree or Yellow Poplar. Like everything else about this standout shade tree, the big tulip-shaped blooms make a huge statement! Easily one of the most balanced growth of all the shade trees, this upright tree has a stately appearance from a young age!
In spring, this shapely tree is absolutely covered with flowers. The greenish-yellow flowers are each splotched with dabs of neon orange! These bright cupped blooms have a wonderful Magnolia family fragrance and bring a whole lot of visual interest! Don't worry, the huge flowers are in perfect scale with instantly recognizable, oversized leaves. These bright green leaves have an endearing modified star shape. Oh, and the fall color? The unique leaves turn a brilliant, blaze-yellow in autumn. What a standout!
