The name Tulip Tree is probably derived from the tulip-like flowers that grow high up in these trees. The flowers are monoecious and around 2.5 inches long. The petals are yellow-green while the corolla has a vivid orange shade. The Tulip Tree blooms from late spring to early summer. In most parts of North America, this means May and June. With a little imagination, the leaves of the Tulip Tree ... resemble tulips. They have four lobes and notch at the tip, which make it look almost as if the tip has been cut of.

The Tree of Life is an important symbol in nearly every culture. With its branches reaching into the sky, and roots deep in the earth, it dwells in three worlds- a link between heaven, the earth, and the underworld, uniting above and below. It is both a feminine symbol, bearing sustenance, and a masculine, visibly phallic symbol- another union.

The fruits of a Tulip Tree are green at first and will turn more and more light brown as they turn ripe. They are fully grown in autumn and look like small cones. The average size is 2.5-3 inches. Twigs from a Tulip Tree are green during the warm season, sometimes with a hint of purple. During the colder months they will turn red and brown, and typically look very smooth and shiny. The bark of young Tulip Trees is green and even and will frequently display pale vertical lines.
