Tree ID

Hi

I'm looking to find the ID of the tree shown in the attached photos. Also if anyone could provide me with any info on how to clone this tree from seeds or cuttings that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

Hi. Believe it's Lireodendron tulipifera, Tulip tree.

 

Agree with chimera that it is Liriodendron tulipifera.

 

Thank you so much


Now my next question does this tree produce seeds and if so what do they look like and when do they come out???

 

Hi blindprophet76. Yes it most certainly produces flowers and then seeds . If you put Liriodendron tulipifera seeds, into Google you will get lots of super images.Hope this helps.

P.S Young trees do not produce flowers.

 

The one shown is plenty big enough to bloom but looks to be a kind of semi-dwarf or other variant with abnormally bumpy trunk and maybe slower growth. The low-forking trunk and crown are uncharateristic for a specimen of that size, in the whole-tree view it looks like an orchard pear tree. Smaller examples of normal appearance often flower.

The usual mode is a tall straight trunk and evenly conical crown producing a towering tree under suitable conditions. Older, larger examples will be more spreading and irregular, some with more than one trunk or with long large branches in the upper part of the tree. Although unrelated cottonwoods and poplars produce similar growth, common names (for Liriodendron tulipifera) tulip poplar and yellow poplar alluding to this resemblance.

 

Thanks to everyone that responded. The reason I'm curious to find info on this particular tree , is because this tree is in the backyard of the house I grew up in. Now the house/property is probably going to be sold and developed within the next two years. So I guess I'm trying to save a bit of my childhood by wanting to plant an offspring from this tree in my future backyard.
