Liriodendron tulipifera (Tulip Tree)

The Tulip Tree is a majestic deciduous tree known for its towering height and striking appearance. Its name comes from the tulip-shaped flowers it produces in spring, which are yellow-green with a vibrant orange centre. The foliage consists of large, uniquely shaped leaves that turn a brilliant golden yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest to any landscape.

This fast-growing tree thrives in full sun and prefers deep, fertile, and well-drained soils. It is ideal for spacious gardens or as a statement feature in parks and large properties. While relatively low maintenance, occasional pruning may be needed to maintain its shape and remove deadwood. Native to North America, the Tulip Tree is celebrated for its beauty and elegance, making it a favourite among landscapers and gardeners alike.
