Harvesting a Native Tulip Tree aka Tulip Poplar From Inside the Brush

Another tree I'm trying to repopulate is one most people have never heard of, the Tulip Poplar. Also known as the Tulip Tree or African Tulip Tree, this 70-90 foot skyscraper blooms in the spring with iconic tulip shaped flowers which are its namesake. In the summer, it provides incredible shade with its 40 foot wide canopy. While not incredibly rare, Tulip Trees are quite scarce in zone 5, even with their ability to grow in all 6 hardiness zones in the United States. Their vigorous root system, wide leaves and quick growth rate make them an ideal shade tree for any yard.

* The potting soil I use is peat based and contains no fertilizer so as to promote root growth rather than leaf growth.
