Liriodendron Seed

LATIN NAME: LIRIODENDRON TULIPIFERA

COMMON NAME: Tulip Tree

The tulip tree tulips the tall, columnar crown with the large, four-lobed, glossy-green leaves that turn the clear gold in the autumn, and the upright, tulip-shaped, green-and-orange flowers that open high in the crown through the early summer, the cone-like clusters of the winged seeds following. The tree grows fast into the huge, long-lived tree, and the straight trunk rises clean and tall. It stands the cold and the wind well, and it likes the sun, and the deep, moist, rich soil.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

In the magnolia family, the tulip tree holds a leading place in the timber research, and the species appears in the studies of the fast, clean growth and the wood properties. The foresters value the straight, workable timber, while the horticulturists note the tulip-shaped flowers and the golden autumn. The seed biology fills out the picture, and the growers of the stately shade trees keep the species in their catalogues.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

In the large garden and the avenue, the tulip tree rises tall and turns gold. The tulip flowers feed the bees, the golden autumn leaves light the season, and the winged seeds feed the birds and the squirrels. The wood serves the furniture, the plywood and the musical instruments. Tall, generous and long-lived.

To grow the Tulip Tree from seed,

Sow the seeds into the leafy, sandy mix of the nursery flat, then cover them lightly, keep the flat in the bright, cool spot and water gently

Keep the flat gently watered, and pot the seedlings on when they are hand-high. They take off fast in the deep, moist ground.

. The seedlings push through within a few weeks, and they grow on fast. Stand the young trees in the deep, moist, well-drained ground, and the golden leaves will tulip the autumn over the years.
