This Tulip Tree is planted on the grounds of the Elks Lodge.

An American native and the tallest eastern hardwood (can reach 190 feet in height), the Tulip Tree is one of the most majestic giants of the Northeast. Distinctively-shaped leaves mimic the bloom of the tulip and turn a rich butter-yellow in autumn. The peculiar flowers, appearing in June and July, are tulip-shaped, yellow-green, and banded with orange at the base of the petals.
