The tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) is not the tree-form of tulips (tulipa) but rather the name of a tree native to Georgia that has leaves and blooms resembling the bulbiferous flower. Its leaves have four lobes, and its April to early-May blooms are a beautiful light color of yellow with orange marks on the inside. You may not notice the blooms of a tulip tree unless the tree is fairly young or a storm has blown down some branches because these trees tend to grow to great heights. They are a tree that has been grand enough to be named the state tree of Indiana, Tennessee, and Kentucky, and their grandeur does not fade in Georgia.

Other Facts About Tulip Trees
When considering a tree for your own backyard (or front yard), native trees should be on your list of considerations. Not only are they heartier in your own environment, but in this case, they are a beautiful alternative to other options. Tulip trees will grow quickly and produce unique and beautiful flowers each year.
