Tulip Poplar

As well as being gorgeous to look at, again the number of uses amazes me :~)

Gorgeous flower...:>)

Great flower, is related to poplar trees we grow in Uk ours do not flower like that.then again we see tulip trees in large Botanical gardens where the flowers are all white.Magnolias are often called Tulip trees but the leaves are all wrong i am confused !
Not that it takes much

Bjs check the Latin names...it is the only thing to really go by. Common names are passed around and shared willy nilly.

This "poplar" is in the Magnoliaceae – Magnolia family
Your poplars are probably in the Salicaceae – Willow family (this family has the poplars, cottonwoods, and aspens)

Hope that helps a little =^..^=

Great close-up ! We have these trees growing all around our house here in North Carolina, they get huge. Ours are probably all about 40 feet tall.

Flcrazy...Thanks...most ppl I know do not like this tree, it is too messy for their taste...But if I didn't have large trees already in place for shade I would surely plant them!
