Tulip Tree
Description
The tulip tree, a member of the magnolia family and Indiana’s state tree, has leaves with a distinctive cat-faced shape. Its flowers are large, greenish yellow, with orange centers, and interestingly showy, if any are located within viewing distance. Bees utilize the flowers for honey. When open grown, the tree can be pyramidal, but when forest grown, this tree typically has a very tall, straight trunk that is free of branches for the majority of its height. Cone-like dry fruits remain on the tree into winter.
