A species so great that Tennessee, Indiana, and Kentucky have all named it their state tree? Introducing a fresh take on the classically adored Tuliptree! While just as grand in stature and producing equally showy tulip-esque blooms in spring, the standout quality of 'Snow Bird' is its creamy-golden variegation. This impressive coloring outlines the leaf edges and lasts all summer long, only to be interrupted in fall, when the leaves transform into a uniform orange. The Tuliptree is one of the tallest and fastest growing native trees, perfect for creating shade in any garden or landscape.
