Description
Columnar Tulip Tree is an extraordinary selection of the iconic native Tulip Poplar that combines towering stature with a strikingly narrow, columnar form, making this American classic accessible to landscapes where space is at a premium. Growing 40–50 feet tall but only 10–15 feet wide, this fast-growing deciduous tree provides a bold vertical accent for avenues, screens, and formal garden designs. In late spring, large tulip-shaped flowers with pale green petals and orange markings appear among the bold, plate-sized leaves, followed by brilliant butter-yellow fall color.
- Dramatically narrow columnar habit, 40–50 ft. tall, only 10–15 ft. wide
- Fast-growing, can add 2+ feet of height per year once established
- Tulip-shaped flowers with green and orange markings in late spring
- Brilliant butter-yellow fall foliage
- Handsome furrowed gray bark adds winter interest
- Ideal for confined spaces, avenues, screens, and formal gardens
- Hardy in Zones 4–9
Columnar Tulip Tree thrives in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It is a vigorous grower that benefits from regular watering during its establishment years and during summer droughts. Plant in a location with plenty of vertical clearance, this tree grows tall fast. No significant pest or disease problems affect this selection. Prune in late winter to remove crossing branches as needed; the natural columnar form requires minimal shaping. Whether used as a living screen, street tree, or garden focal point, it is always impressive. Order today!
