How do you take care of tulip trees?
Tulip trees can be purchased from a local nursery and planted any time between spring and early fall. They'll fare best in a sunny spot in moist, well-drained, compost-amended soil. Bark mulch or wood chips will protect their shallow roots and help to keep the soil moist—young trees need lots of water.
How long does it take for a tulip tree to grow?
Tulip poplars can zoom up to 20 feet tall and almost as wide in less than 10 years, ultimately ending up around 70-80 feet tall and 50 feet wide. A bigger issue in my mind is that the fast growth equates to weak wood, which means they tend to snap off branches quicker in storms than many other tree species.
How do you start a tulip tree?
When propagating a tulip tree from cuttings, line a bucket with burlap, then fill it with potting soil. Plunge the cut end of the cutting 8 inches (20.5 cm.) deep in the soil. Cut the bottom out of a milk jug, then use it to cover the cutting.
How much space does a tulip tree need?
