The tuliptree is one of the most massive indigenous trees in North America. It is a part of the magnolia family and has a distinct tulip-shaped attribute in its leaves, flowers, and fruit. The magnificent, goblet-shaped, orange-yellow-green flowers appear in late spring after the leaves; the cone-like seed clusters sit erect on the branches. The golden-yellow fall color of the tuliptree makes this an exceptional choice for vast landscapes.
