Tulip Tree is a fast growing beautiful large deciduous tree. Leaves are shaped like cartoon tulips and turn yellow in autumn. The flowers appear from early summer onwards resembling short stemmed tulips or Magnolia. They are a yellow green colour and banded at the base of the petals with orange. Very tolerant of pollution, so where there is space, this is useful as an urban tree.
