Tulip Poplar Tree Leaf. The leaf is darker than is typical. Leaf size varies from 8 22 cm long and 6 25 cm wide.
An interesting fact about tulip trees is that it is the host plant for tiger and spicebush swallowtail butterflies. The habit is a bit more compact than the species resulting in a firmly upright tree. Verticillium wilt often causes tree.
The leaves are also tulip shaped and can get up to 8 inches 20 cm long.
Its trunk is usually columnar with a long branch free bole forming a compact rather than open conical crown of slender branches. Tulip poplar trees are deciduous and will lose their leaves in winter but first you get a spectacular color display of brilliant golden foliage. Duck bill shaped buds appear in winter. Leaves emerge folded and yellow and become green with age.
