Wildlife Value:
Tuliptrees provide food in many forms for many animals. In fall and winter, young trees
are browsed by whitetail deer and rabbits. The spring flowers provide nectar for
ruby-throated hummingbirds. Tuliptree seeds, maturing in summer and persisting into
winter, provide food for both birds and mammals, including finches, cardinals, quail,
mice, red squirrels, gray squirrels, and rabbits.
History/Lore/Use:
Once plentiful in their natural habitat in eastern America, Tuliptrees, with their tall,
straight trunks, lack of lower branches, and hard wood, were favorites of loggers for
railroad ties and fence posts. George Washington planted Tuliptrees at Mount Vernon which
are now 140 feet tall and Daniel Boone favored the wood of this tree for his 60-foot
dugout canoe.
