It can reach heights of 70 to 100 feet or more, with a straight trunk, pyramidal crown, and smooth gray bark that becomes furrowed with age. The leaves are uniquely shaped, resembling a tulip or lyre, with four lobes and a bright green color that turns golden yellow in fall. In late spring to early summer, the tree produces tulip-shaped flowers that are greenish-yellow with orange markings at the base of each petal, often high in the canopy and slightly hidden by foliage. These blooms are followed by cone-like clusters of winged seeds that mature in late summer and disperse in fall. Liriodendron tulipifera thrives in full sun and deep, moist, well-drained soils, and it is commonly used as a shade tree or ornamental specimen in large landscapes. Its rapid growth, stately form, and tolerance to urban conditions make it a popular choice in parks and open spaces.

To stratify, place the seeds in a moist medium such as sand, peat moss, or vermiculite inside a sealed plastic bag and refrigerate them at 35 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit for 60 to 90 days. After stratification, sow the seeds about a quarter inch deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix and place the containers in a warm location with indirect light. Maintain a consistent temperature of around 70 degrees Fahrenheit and keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Germination can take several weeks to a few months. Once seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted into larger pots or directly into the ground in a sunny location with deep, fertile, well-drained soil. Young plants should be protected from strong winds and extreme cold until well established.\n        \u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Eternatradellc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48426118250737,"sku":"C2H58KE","price":3.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/9036\/8241\/files\/Output_306.jpg?v=1784538710","url":"https:\/\/eternatradellc.com\/products\/liriodendron-tulipifera-tulip-tree-10-seeds","provider":"Eternatradellc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
