Liriodendron tulipifera |
Zone: 4-9
Climat Préféré: Plein soleil
Date de la Récolte: Friday 01 December 2006
Description:
One of the most beautiful North American hardwoods growing straight, tall and with a pyrimidal symetrical form with upswept branches. The distinctive squarish lobed leaves makes it quite unique. Starting in May, the cupped large tulip shaped sweetly fragrant flowers start off greenish, but by June, open to a yellowish green with an orange band inside. Pollinators are rewarded with nectar produced in relative abundance. In autumn, the foliage turns a golden yellow. Truely spectacular. Grows to 30 meters in height with a 10 meter spread.
