Tulip Tree Care Must-Knows

Tulip trees grow best in full to partial sun and well-drained soil. Due to their shallow root system, these trees don’t tolerate drought, tending to turn yellow and drop prematurely during dry periods. It can be difficult to grow plants near a tulip tree due to competition for water. Tulip trees do not tolerate being transplanted in the fall so should be planted in spring if possible.
