Visual Interest in Spring and Fall

 

Why Tulip Poplar Trees?

Imagine leaving for work one morning during spring: before you leave, you notice 3 to 4 small blooms on your tree. When you come home that evening, that same tree is covered in a blanket of richly-hued florals. With the Tulip Poplar, a dazzling production and fast growth are not only possible but expected.

You'll have the brightest tree in the neighborhood. And though it takes the blooms some time to develop (10 to 15 years), they're unmatched. Even better? During the summer, you'll have a fast-growing, well-formed green shade tree. When fall arrives, the Tulip's leaves turn to bright yellow for a dazzling show. So, our Tulip Poplar merges the best of both worlds.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

Even better, our Tulip Poplar is highly resistant to insects and diseases, making it a healthful pick that provides a lifetime of enjoyment. And since it's easy to grow, it thrives in nearly any area. It's highly adaptable to a variety of soils, even wet soil.

But the best part is that we've planted, grown, and nurtured your Tulip Poplar for months ahead of time, which means a healthy root system and developed branching for you. Now, your Tulip Poplar is an attractive front yard tree that will increase your home's value.

From climate to climate and no matter the temperature extremes, the Tulip Poplar wows because we've put in the extra work.

Plant your Tulip Poplar Tree and start looking forward to the change of seasons - instant beauty is just a click away!

Happy little twig

Arrival: Boxes were fantastic and tree was well-packed. Tree was a single tall stick with very few leaves attached near the center. Day 1: Planting went well, and I left the stake in for supports. As you can see, the shape is a really tall twig. But also top was snipped, and the next available "leaders" are both nearly horizontal branches, so I am a bit concerned on how I plan to train this back into a tree. First 3 months: Removed stake at 3 months, leaving just 1 shoestring to pull it level. The tree lost 100% of all leaves in the first month. BUT - it grew new ones! 4. 4 Month: Tree is happy. Very sparse, but happy. It's meant to be a giant tree, so I'm not too concerned with the current leaf count. Biggest concern is lack of leader that I'll have to train.

Not sure

Am a little concerned on how trees arrived. All 4 trees packaging as much as 50% of the soil was outside the pot in the plastic. And the leaves were already turning black. I got the trees in the ground asap and have been watering daily. 1week in. Hoping for the best. Thank you.

Beautiful tree

This tree arrived on time and healthy. Spring rains helped it grow and establish without as much watering.

Best customer service ever

It was no fault of FG Trees, but my Tulip Poplar sat in a fed- ex warehouse for a while, then toured the country in a van. When it finally arrived it was Saraha desert dry, brittle, and the top 18 inches snapped off. I made a phone call to FG Trees customer support and within 2 hours received an email with shipping and tracking information for my new one, no charge to me. It arrived today and its beautiful and healthy. Talk about customer support! I'll be buying more trees from them in the spring.
