Fast-growing tree with a dead straight trunk. The crown is narrow early on but later develops to conical. In old specimens the branches spread to form a broad oval crown. The trunk is light grey to grey and develops shallow grooves with increasing age. The young twigs are greenish-grey, later reddish-brown. The leaves are 4-lobed and the top is straight to incised with a V. The underside is light green. In the autumn the leaves turn yellow. The tulip-shaped flowers appear after the leaves have emerged. They are approximately 4 cm long and 6 cm broad, have a green exterior and a yellow plus orange interior. The conical fruit consists of many winged nutlets pressed together in a spiral. Deep loose soil is required because of the deeply penetrating fleshy taproot. Liriodendron tulipifera forms a closed crown with vigorous foliage that turns a remarkable yellow in the autumn. Because of its rough branching the tree has an open silhouette in the winter.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
Liriodendron tulipifera can eventually reach a height of 20 - 25 (35) m, fast growing, depending on the site and climate conditions.

The leaves of Liriodendron tulipifera turn yellow in autumn.
The right time to plant Liriodendron tulipifera is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Liriodendron tulipifera with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
