Also called Tulip Poplar or Yellow Poplar, this deciduous tree grows 60 to 90 feet tall. Its yellow-orange flowers attract hummingbirds, and are followed by dry, scaly, cone-shaped brown fruits, each bearing numerous winged seeds. It can grow in full sun to shade, and in rich, moist soils. This tree is favored by birds as a nesting site.
