Get out your sunglasses because the brightest tree in the neighborhood will be in your yard. The Tulip Poplar is valued for the large quantities of nectar it produces each year and is a veritable magnet for wildlife.  Planting this Poplar in your yard will attract cardinals, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Just as wildlife enjoys the Poplar for its varied attributes, so also will you enjoy its presence in your landscape. * Fast-Growing* Unique spring flowers* Yellow fall color
