An Impressive Feature Tree for Spacious Gardens

Liriodendron tulipifera is ideal for gardeners and landscapers wanting a bold, architectural tree. Reaching impressive heights over time, it brings scale and beauty to large lawns, parks, or rural plantings. Its uniform shape and strong central leader make it well-suited to structured landscapes.

Seasonal Colour and Unique Foliage

This tree features lush green leaves through spring and summer that shift to glowing yellow in autumn. While not commonly planted for flowers, its subtle green-yellow blooms add interest in late spring. The autumn show makes it particularly valuable in mixed tree plantings.

Locally Grown and Ready to Thrive
