I bought my house a year and half ago and never realized until later after being moved in that I had a tulip tree on the yard.
the tree is 85 years old and is about to bloom.........sometime soon I am hoping
there is a lot of interest since it does not produce viable seeds in the pod until it is 50 years old....
it is growing way out of zone here and the conservation society is coming to collect the seeds in the fall and plant them local.......
just thought I would do a general discussion about this tree
There are many hybrids of this tree out there............
but this is the real deal here.....
they are coming to take pics and so on this Monday but my guess is that it is not going to be in bloom yet although the buds are there......
they will make it a heritage tree since is growing as an Ontario species tree out of zone.......and also for the size of it and so on... Hope to have that status very shortly. that way it gives the tree some protection from being taken down in the future....
