Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Tulip Tree - Liriodendron tulipifera
Few deciduous trees command a landscape with the authority of Liriodendron tulipifera. A rapid-growing, long-lived specimen reaching 20 to 35m, it delivers architectural scale, distinctive spring flowering, and a reliable golden autumn display that few trees can match at this size.
Why Tulip Tree
Scale and speed: One of the fastest-growing large-canopy trees available, adding up to 1m per year under good conditions.
Distinctive flowering: Tulip-shaped yellow-green blooms with a deep orange centre appear in late spring, remarkable at canopy height on a mature specimen.
Autumn colour: Foliage transitions to a clean, rich golden yellow, consistent and dependable across temperate climates.
Structural longevity: A multi-generational tree with a strong central leader and broad, ordered canopy that improves with age.
Low intervention: Established specimens require minimal ongoing maintenance, making them well suited to large-scale professional landscapes.
Ideal Applications
Prestige shade canopy: Provides immediate, generous coverage across large residential or commercial properties.
Formal avenue planting: Consistent form and upright habit make it a strong candidate for boulevard or driveway applications.
Windbreak and screening: Height and density offer meaningful protection across exposed sites and large land holdings.
Specimen feature planting: Placed as a standalone focal point, a mature tree creates immediate visual hierarchy within any landscape composition.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 10 to 15m
Best Planting Season: Autumn to early spring
Soil & Drainage: Deep, moist, well-drained, fertile, slightly acidic to neutral soil; avoid waterlogged or highly alkaline conditions
Establishment Care: Water deeply and regularly for the first two to three years until well established, particularly during hot or dry periods. Apply a thick layer of mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and protect the root system.
