Often planted as a specimen, the beautiful deciduous Tulip tree is grown for its large lobed, delicate green leaves with a cut-off or notched tip turning a clear yellow in autumn. The yellow-green flowers shaped like tulips, marked with orange inside appear in early to mid summer but are only produced on more mature trees. Requires sun or semi-shade. Fully hardy, prefers deep, fertile loamy moisture-retentive preferably slightly acid soil. No regular pruning is needed and it is an easy to care for tree as it is not troubled by pests or diseases. The usual spring treat of weed, mulch and compost when young is recommended. Their height in maturity is about 20m x 7m / 70ft x 23ft.
The tree is watered before carefully packed by one of our experienced staff on site. It comes in a cardboard box lined with straw. (We try to use as much recycling material as possible) The box is addressed to the customer or a specified name and address and sent out overnight delivery to arrive on requested dates.
Please note the size of the tree that you are ordering, as our trees are provided for our clients to plant themselves, which may appear at a small size rather than the fully grown tree as shown in the photos. To find out more information, please visit our Delivery & Returns page.
