A tree that bears tulip flowers? Yes, this is a tulip tree, and if you're here in late May or early June you might be lucky to see the large yellow flowers that are shaped like tulips.

The EMERALD CITY® tulip tree is derived from a tree native to the wooded areas of the eastern part of north America. This cultivar has a narrower form than its parents though, maintaining a narrower conical or upright oval shape. Despite growing to 55 feet in height its width is only 25 feet or less.
