The handsome flowers are greenish-yellow with orange markings and are held at the branch tips where they can be best admired. Flowers are followed by a brown scaly cone-shaped fruit. The leaves are single square-lobed and are about 6" long. Tulip Poplar has moderate water requirements and a moderate tolerance for salt and alkali soils.
