It can grow up to 100 feet high and is recognized for its distinctive tulip-shaped flowers, which bloom in late spring. The tree's leaves are large, with a unique four-lobed shape, and turn vibrant yellow in the fall. This tree is valued for its strong, lightweight wood, often used in furniture and cabinetry. The Tulip Tree also provides habitat for various wildlife, including birds and insects. Its rapid growth and adaptability make it a popular choice for landscaping and reforestation efforts.
