A large deciduous shade tree known for its stately pyramidal habit and distinctive, tulip-shaped leaves. In late spring to early summer, it produces showy, tulip-like yellow-green flowers with orange centers. Its straight trunk and tall, upright form make it ideal as a specimen tree, in parks, or in larger landscapes where space allows.
Valued for architectural form, spring flowers, and rapid growth, it grows best in full sun and prefers moist, well-drained soils. Minimal pruning is needed, mainly to remove dead or crossing branches.
