The tulip tree is named for its striking cup-shaped, tulip-like flowers that bloom in spring. These yellow flowers, with an orange band at the base of each petal, appear after the leaves have fully developed. The flowers are often first noticed when the colorful petals begin to fall to the ground. The bright green leaves turn yellow or brown in the fall. After flowering, the tree produces cone-like fruit that ripens in the fall, turning brown. The tulip tree is a favorite nesting site for birds, and its flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds, making it a beautiful and beneficial addition to any landscape.
