Yellow Poplar, also known as Tulip Tree, is a large deciduous tree native to eastern North America. It can grow up to 100 feet tall and is recognized for its distinctive tulip-shaped leaves and bright yellow-green flowers that bloom in spring. The tree thrives in rich, moist soils and is often found in mixed forests. The wood of the Yellow Poplar is lightweight and durable, making it a popular choice for furniture, cabinetry, and musical instruments. Its straight grain and fine texture allow for easy machining, while its resistance to warping adds to its appeal in woodworking.
