Liriodendron tulipifera

Local nameTulpenbaum
LocationLongerich, Cologne, Deutschland

Liriodendron tulipifera—known as the tulip tree, American tulip tree, tulipwood, tuliptree, tulip poplar, whitewood, fiddletree, and yellow-poplar—is the North American representative of the two-species genus Liriodendron, and the tallest eastern hardwood. It is native to eastern North America from Southern Ontario and possibly southern Quebec to Illinois eastward to southwestern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and south to central Florida and Louisiana. It can grow to more than 50 m in virgin cove forests of the Appalachian Mountains, often with no limbs until it reaches 25–30 m in height, making it a very valuable timber tree. The tallest individual at the present time is one called the Fork Ridge Tulip Tree at a secret location in the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina. Repeated measurements by laser and tape-drop have shown it to be 191' 10" in height. It is the tallest tree in eastern North America.
