Liriodendron tulipifera Pleached luscious-looking-but-toxic berries with a dangerousDeciduous. A robust, fast growing, stately tree with unique tulip shaped leaves, which produces an equally unique tulip shaped greenish yellow flowers in June July (on older trees). Its lush, cool foliage and semi transparent crown make it an ideal summer shade tree, but it is even more spectacular in autumn when the tree turns a golden yellow. Performs best on a deep rich, preferably acid soil due to its deep taproot. Avoid chalk.
