Liriodendron tulipifera (br) |
Zone: 4-9
Description:
One bare root seedling (30 cm). Strong straight growing lovely hardwood with a pyrimidal symetrical form. Lovely leaves are size of my outspread hand. The distinctive squarish lobed leaves are the size of my outspread hand (size 7 mudgrubbers) 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.
