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.
