Tulip Poplar Tree
Zone: 4 to 9
Prefers: Full Sun
Will grow: 60'-90' Tall and 30'-50' Wide
Why this variety: The Tulip Poplar tree is one of the fastest growing hardwood trees available. This tree has beautiful rich large maple looking leaves that turn a stunning gold in the fall. It does take a little while to start flowering (around 15 years) but once it does the flowers that bloom in late spring/early summer will provide beauty for you, nectar for hummingbirds, and eventually small seeds for finches, cardinals, quail, and other small wildlife.
Fun fact: George Washington chose to plant this tree at Mount Vernon, and it still stands majestically today and over 100' tall.
Current plant size: Young tree in liner
