Tulip Poplar grows best in full sun and deep, moist, well-draining soil, ideally with slightly acidic to neutral pH. It prefers ample space, as it can grow very tall and fast, and is best suited for large properties, naturalized areas, or restoration plantings.
This is a large, fast-growing deciduous tree that can reach 60–90 feet tall and 30–50 feet wide at maturity. It develops a straight trunk and a broadly pyramidal to oval canopy, offering significant shade and visual impact.
Tulip Poplar produces distinctive tulip-shaped flowers in late spring to early summer (May–June). The blooms are greenish-yellow with orange centers, often high in the canopy. Its four-lobed leaves turn bright golden yellow in fall, adding strong seasonal interest.
Yes! Tulip Poplar is a nectar-rich tree for bees and butterflies, particularly native bees. Its seeds feed birds and small mammals, and its towering canopy offers nesting sites and cover for wildlife, making it a valuable native species for supporting biodiversity.
Tulip Poplar is not deer-resistant. Young trees, especially, may be browsed by deer, so protective caging or tree guards are recommended during early establishment in areas with high deer pressure.
