Does anyone have a tulip tree ? i have one in my yard, its very pretty but only blooms about 3 weeks of the year big green leaves the rest of the time. Was wondering if i should be doing anything special for it ? Have a pic if interested.

My neighbor has one and I think it one of
the prettiest trees there is.
The flowers are so neat,
you don't normally see that color here
and it is a nice change to see.

Seems very neat, not messy, maybe some big
leaves in the fall, but hey, better for the compost????

HI Davidtx!!!

My neighbor has a tulip tree and the one

This is a Tulip Tree

I took a peak at your pictures, What a nice back yard you have, Are the water lilies your's??

And do you know the name of the bush/shrub that's in bloom with white flowers??
A Rose of Sharon???????????????????
Couldn't see too close, but very pretty!!!

And Thank~You for finding the Web~Shot's,
alot of our gardeners have that, and it is
so much fun to see pictures!!
Thanks for sharing!!

david, you and weezie are both right. you have the same thing i have which is called a tulip magnolia. fregquently it gets shortened to just tulip tree, but the full name is "japanese tulip magnolia". i love mine and have had it for 13 years. 4 years in the ground then i dug it up and potted it because i was moving. it is in a pot now and quite happy!
