I have always loved
tulips. The flowers bring Spring to mind and they have a charming look to them.
But I wasn’t aware that they could grow on trees until my sister asked me if I
would like to have a tulip tree for my backyard. She said that while it was
beautiful, it dropped flowers into her backyard pool.
I was delighted. It
was planted toward the back of my house and after a brief season of acclimating
to its new yard, put out flowers each Spring. That was many years ago and the
tree has been producing more and more flowers each year.
There are things to
consider when planting a tulip tree, though. It grows TALL. It overlooks much
of our backyard. And my sister was right; the beautiful flowers eventually lose
their petals which spread far and wide over everything. Still, I am delighted
to have it in our yard and am grateful that it comes abundantly back each
Spring.
