Liriodendron tulipifera- Native to Michigan
1-0, 6"-12” seedlings 
Also known as tuliptree, this tree gets its name from its showy flowers, which bloom in May and June. These trees are fast-growing and can get quite large, making them an ideal shade tree. It is not closely related to tulips or poplars, but is actually a member of the magnolia family. Attracts birds, pollinators, and other wildlife, and is a host plant for butterflies or moths.
