About this plant

The tulip tree develops distinctive lobed leaves with a flattened-looking tip, yellow-green tulip-like flowers on mature trees and golden autumn colour.

As the plant matures it forms a tall trunk and broadly conical crown, creating a strong shape through the growing season.

Best used for

Plant as a long-term focal tree in a spacious garden or park.

Give the plant enough space and light to show its natural form.

Growth & mature size

Growth per year 40–80 cm per year Fast growth
Expected mature size 20–30 m high / 10–15 m wide

Expect around 40–80 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 20–30 m in height and 10–15 m in width. Allow room for a tall trunk and broadly conical crown; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.

How to care

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment and water again whenever the upper soil dries. Top-dress with mature compost once a year in spring, keeping it clear of the stems. Remove damaged or crossing branches as needed, avoiding heavy routine pruning.

What you will receive

You will receive a healthy container plant in the selected size. The plant is prepared for delivery and supplied ready for planting.

Natural variation in shape, branching, leaf density and seasonal appearance is normal. Plants may look different depending on the time of year.
