Fastigiate Tuliptree 1 Live Tree – Liriodendron tulipifera ‘Fastigiatum’ – 3 Gallon Pot

Fastigiate Tuliptree (Liriodendron tulipifera ‘Fastigiatum’) is an ornamental deciduous tree valued for its upright, relatively narrow branching habit and distinctive foliage. This selection of the American tuliptree has a more columnar growth form than the typical species, making it an attractive choice for landscapes where an upright tree silhouette is desired.

The tree produces uniquely shaped green leaves with broad, squared-off lobes that turn yellow to golden yellow in autumn. Established trees may develop tulip-shaped, yellow-green flowers with orange markings in late spring to early summer. The species is native to eastern North America and belongs to the magnolia family, Magnoliaceae.

This listing includes one live Fastigiate Tuliptree in a 3 gallon nursery pot. It generally performs best in full sun and deep, fertile, well-drained soil with adequate moisture. Young trees may not flower for several years, and the plant's appearance at shipping will vary with the growing season.
