Tulip Poplar

Liriodendron tulipifera

Location: Woodland Trail, Arrival Hall, Four Rounds

Sited at the top of the Boardwalk and adjacent to the Greenbriar Branch stream, the tulip poplar, or Liriodendron tulipifera, is Glenstone’s tallest tree, measuring 126 feet tall with a trunk circumference of 184 inches and a canopy which spans nearly 100 feet. Tulip poplars are ideal trees for full-sun sites with plenty of room to grow. Their yellow tulip-shaped flowers reach peak bloom in May.
