Product page > Variant picker block.The Tulip Poplar, also known as the Yellow Poplar or Tulip Tree, is a tall and fast-growing deciduous tree that is prized for its striking appearance and valuable wood. It typically grows to a height of 80 to 120 feet (24 to 36 meters) and a width of 30 to 50 feet (9 to 15 meters) at maturity.
The tree has a straight, cylindrical trunk that is covered in light gray bark that becomes deeply furrowed with age. The leaves are large and four-lobed, resembling the shape of a tulip. They turn a brilliant yellow color in the fall, adding to the tree's overall beauty.
In the spring, the Tulip Poplar produces striking yellow-green flowers that resemble tulips, hence its name. The flowers are large and showy, attracting bees and other pollinators.
