TULIP TREE

---

• The Tulip Tree is native to the eastern U.S. It is hardy to -20 degrees F, and is a magnificent tree for large landscapes. Tulip-like, yellowish green flowers appear high in its branches in early summer or late spring.
   
• Good fall color; turns bright yellow. The Gold-Edged Tulip Tree, L.t. "Aurea-marginatum", is smaller, only growing to 50 feet, and its leaves are prominently edged in yellow.
   
• Prefers rich, deep, moist loam and slightly acidic soil. Spreading, shallow root system makes it difficult to grow other plants and turf underneath.
   
• Height to 150 feet.
