Liriodendron tulipfera (Tulip Tree) 1M tall
The stunning Tulip Tree deserves to be much more widely grown – this lovely relative of Magnolia produces wonderful exotic looking yellow and orange tulip-like flowers in Spring, which are really tough – they look so delicate, almost out of place on a hardy deciduous tree!
In yellow, the distinctively shaped leaves turn butter yellow as they fall, giving a second season of interest. It is quite a vigorous growing tree, but perfect where space permits as a lawn planted specimen or as a border tree for interest.
