Variegated Tulip Tree is a magnificent specimen tree that takes the already stunning Tulip Poplar and elevates it to an entirely new level of ornamental beauty. Each large, distinctive tulip-shaped leaf is richly edged with a bold golden-yellow margin, creating a shimmering two-toned canopy that illuminates the landscape from spring through fall. Maturing at 50–70 feet, this stately deciduous tree also produces the iconic tulip-shaped flowers, soft green with orange bases, in late spring, adding another layer of seasonal interest.

Variegated Tulip Tree thrives in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It is a vigorous grower that rewards annual watering during drought. Plant in a large, open location where its ultimate size can be appreciated. No significant pest or disease issues affect this cultivar. Best leaf variegation appears in full sun; in excessive shade, leaves may revert to green. Minimal pruning is needed, remove crossing branches in late winter to maintain structure.
