Tulip trees are vigorous large deciduous trees with beautifully shaped glossy four-lobed leaves with an unusual straight top. The leaves turn a gorgeous butter yellow and coppery in Autumn. In early summer semi-mature specimens produce exquisite tulip-shaped flowers of yellow-green with an orange flare at the base. Followed by single-winged seeds, not dissimilar to a cone. Liriodendron tulipifera is helpful to wildlife and has good pollution tolerance.
