Tulip Trees are fast-growing upright-oval shade trees that have some of the most stunning flowers you may never see. I say that because the Tulip-shaped cups stand upright on the branches and are often hidden by the dense foliage. They look marvelous when viewed from above, so planting around decks or upstairs windows will give you the best vantage point to appreciate the beauty of the blossoms. Fast growing but may be weak-wooded. Needs ample moisture and a protected location. Perfect for the garden geek who needs something special in their personal botanic garden!
