Tuliptree (Liquidambar styraciflua) or Tulip Poplar is a native species easily recognizable by its unique leaf shape. A large tree with bright green leaves 3-8 inches long that turn golden-yellow in fall. The tulip shaped flowers, hence the name, are yellow, orange, and green appear in May and June usually high up in the trees canopy. A great choice for large areas. Native Americans made dugout canoes from Tuliptree trunks.
