General Comments:
While its common name is tulip poplar, it is not related to poplars--it is a member of the magnolia family. Source of the name probably comes from the nature of the light-colored wood.
Noted as a good honey plant.
Its range in Florida appears to be disjunct. However, there is no reason to believe that this plant would cause issues if planted outside of that range. It is said not to perform well to the south of its range.
