The tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) is a majestic tree that is native to eastern North America. It is known for its large, tulip-shaped leaves, fragrant white flowers, and straight, tall trunk. Tulip poplars can grow to be over 100 feet tall, and they have a lifespan of up to 400 years. Tulip poplars are a popular choice for landscaping because they are fast-growing, tolerant of a wide range of soils, and relatively pest- and disease-free. They are also very wind-resistant, making them a good choice for areas that are prone to storms.
