Love yellow? This incredible shade tree will make you smile. Yellow flowers in the spring & yellow leaves in the fall. This sturdy tree is a real show stopper!

You'll leave for work one day in the spring… You notice 3-4 flowers on your tree… You come home that evening and your whole tree is smothered in thousands of blooms.

You now have the "Brightest Tree in the Neighborhood."

During the summer you get a fast growing, well formed green shade tree.

In the Fall… get your sunglasses. While other trees are turning brown, your Tulip Poplar leaves turn from green to bright yellow.

A great tree for all seasons and one of our best sellers.

The Tulip looking flowers give you a delightful fragrance of nectar that you'll enjoy all spring long. This nectar even attracts birds – including ruby-throated hummingbirds, cardinals and finches – and other small wildlife... the perfect tree for wildlife lovers!

The Tulip Poplar is highly resistant to disease and insects, making this a healthy tree that will provide a lifetime of enjoyment.

Very easy to grow... thrives in almost all areas! Highly adaptable to a variety of soils – even grows in wet soil!

In open areas, the Tulip Poplar usually grows into a majestic cone shape.. making it an attractive front yard tree that will increase your home's value.

Tulip Poplars thrive throughout the United States, in a broad variety of climates and temperature extremes.

Plant yours and start looking forward to the change of seasons.

Your Tulip Poplar can be planted any time of year!

It's Easy to Plant your Tulip Poplar
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Tulip Poplar. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Tulip Poplar gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Tulip Poplar again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Jim in Columbia, MO

We recently purchased the tulip poplar tree and planted it in our back yard. I must say that when we received it, it was packaged well, and was very healthy. It just looks beautiful in our yard. The big leaves are so cool looking. Cant wait till spring,to see the pretty flowers.

Kim in Canton, MI

Our Tulip Tree stands in front of our house near the street and is absolutely stunning in the Spring and Fall. The flowers are huge & beautiful, the blooms attract photographers from miles around. We even get some helicopter fly-overs from a near-by community airport! In the Fall the foliage turns a show-stopping blazing gold.

Jerry in Miami, FL

I received my tree very well packed. I was impressed. It was a long stick with 8 bare branches. No leaves but each branch had a bulb at the tip. This is its third week and the bulbs are already opening. I am in zone 10 and it is doing great. I am sure I will order from you again soon.

Cindy in Smyrna, TN

We planted our little tulip poplar in the front yard and it is really thriving! We cant believe how much it has grown in 1 year- and how full it has gotten. Its not the biggest tree in the yard- but it is so pretty!! This fall the leaves were a wonderful gold-its just a great accent to our landscaping!! Love it!!

Tree Lovers in Hampstead, MD

Great tree! We planted this tree on the hill near our house and its beautiful. Cant wait until its full grown and we can enjoy the wonderful shade it will provide.

Veronica in Abbeville, AL

I planted the Tulip Poplar Tree for shade and as a host plant to the native Swallowtail butterfly ,Alabama,. There are many of these trees in our area and the yellow flowers look and smell wonderful. This tree does grow very fast and has gorgeous shaped leaves that are huge. The butterflies nibble on the leaves, the tree sprouts new leaves as it grows which is constant. I cant wait to see it bloom again in the spring. Also, when I bought this tree it was about 3 feet tall and it is currently close to 8 feet tall.

Barb in Houston, TX

My trees have only been in the ground about 2 weeks so they have not grown yet. I was expecting to receive 2 sticks but was pleasantly surprised to find 2 trees. They had branches and leaves and even though they had been in a box for 3 days they were not even wilted. So far they are looking healthy, have not wilted or dropped leaves. I am very pleased with your service and with your product. I will most assuredly recommend your company and will order from you in the future.

Sarah in Texas

My tulip poplar tree is doing very well. It has bright yellow leaves this fall and looks very healthy.

Jim

My Tulip Poplar got off to a slow start. Unfortunately it was planted where my hose would barely reach. Despite my neglect, it is thriving! I love the unique shape of its leaves. It is worth growing just for the beautiful leaves.

Sout Beloit, IL

The Tulip Poplar tree has really impressed me. I placed it in a location to make a wind break fo the front of my house. It has not been pruned yet. It is pretty much growing the way I would like for it to. It is extremely full and bushy. It is showing great beauty and I look forward to watching it mature. Thank you for such a great tree

Michelle

My Tulip Popars leaves were a little dried out, but the trunk and little branches look healthy. The leaves soon perked up when it went into a big pot with good dirt. I think it spent seven-eight days in the box. Youve made over-and-above effort for customer service and I will be ordering again when our temperature drops to a safer level. You all are wonderful in caring for your customers. Im very grateful to you for that and will certainly make sure everyone I know is aware that Fastest Growing Trees is a company of integrity.

Tim

36 months ago planted a 5' stick. Cleared a 10' circle in the lawn, threw a bag of good dirt in the hole, planted stick. Now 20' tall and 5" caliper width. Very full of new growth all season. A great tree from good stock.

Kathy in Columbus, IN

Thanks for your great service. Our tree arrived and was a very nice specimen. We were able to get it into the ground about two weeks before a hard frost. By spring, it was waist high and by fall it is at least shoulder high! Before we know it we will be sitting under its shade.

Ed in Wauwatosa, WI

We recently planted a Tulip Poplar Tree, and planted it on our rental property. It soon overtook our 10 year old maple in size.We love both trees and would love to have space to plant more!

Bard in Caledonia, MI

I LOVE THIS TREE! My tree is now at least a half tree taller than when I planted it. Everything about it seems to be happy and healthy. Cant wait to make my next purchase.

Todd in Tonawanda, NY

I planted this tree in my front yard while living in SC last year. During the summer months it grew quickly and looked very healthy. This past summer I moved to NY and purchased another Tulip Poplar tree for my new front yard. The trees are shipped expertly packaged and thrive once planted.

Tree Lovers in Hampstead, MD

Very easy to get started. So far, has not grown w/ the amount of speed as the empress tree. But, Im very spoiled by this tree! I plan on buying more tulip poplars!

LaMoin in Morristown, TN

Our Tulip Poplar is a great tree that has really taken off in the past year. We have planted it near our deck to one day provide shade in the summer. The only problem that we have had is that it grew too fast and we did not cut one of ties that was supporting it in time. It is not necessarily a bad problem to have. It has rebounded nicely from that little mishap.

LaMoin in Morristown, TN

We planted the tree in our back yard to provide beauty and shade. It has grown about 4 feet and we are very happy with it.

Ann

I have two Tulip Poplar Trees in my backyard which I like very much.

Shawn in New Orleans, LA
