Liriodendron tulipifera 'Fastigiatum' is a medium-sized, narrow, deciduous tree of columnar habit, with upright branches parallel to its trunk. As it matures, it gets pyramidal form. Unique, exotic-looking, 4-lobed, glossy green leaves turn vivid golden-yellow in autumn. Its large, tulip-shaped, yellow-green flowers, orange at the base, bloom in late spring and early summer. It’s a columnar variety of the Tulip tree with two advantages – narrower form and ability to bloom after only 5-7 years. Tulip Tree Fastigiatum prefers fertile, loose, slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soils. It thrives in full sun, but tolerates partial shade. It is deep rooted and resistant to frost, wind and air pollution. Generally, pest-free and disease-free. It doesn’t require regular pruning. Liriodendron tulipifera 'Fastigiatum' is a beautiful columnar with attractive foliage and lovely yellow flowers, suitable for medium-sized gardens. Great as a specimen plant. When planted in groups, excellent for informal hedges and screens, large alignments, urban areas.
