Discover the charm of the fast-growing Liriodendron chinense, or Chinese Tulip Tree. Showcasing an upright, spreading silhouette, this deciduous tree is recognized for its tulip-shaped, yellowish-green flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer, creating a captivating vision. Smaller than those of Liriodendron tulipifera, they may go unnoticed since they are borne high on the tree and after the leaves are fully developed. Following the flowering stage, the tree bears cone-like fruit, filled with numerous winged seeds, that provide an interesting visual element during the winter. The tree's 3-lobed leaves are quite large, emerging burgundy before changing to green and finally to bright golden yellow in the fall. However, this unique species is threatened in the wild due to large-scale logging. Standing 60-80ft tall and 30-40ft wide, the low-maintenance Chinese Tulip Tree makes a superb shade or specimen tree for a large landscape. It's a full-sun lover that thrives in organically rich, moist, acidic, well-drained soils. It's also deer and rabbit resistant, and not prone to serious pest or disease issues. Native to China and Indochina, this tree has also earned the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society.
