The Tulip Tree Fastigiata, botanically known as Liriodendron tulipifera ‘Fastigiata’, is a stunning, upright cultivar of the classic American tulip tree. Loved for its narrow, columnar growth habit, rapid growth rate, and striking tulip-shaped flowers, this tree is a premium choice for landscape design, urban gardens, and narrow spaces.
The Fastigiata Tulip Tree is a columnar variety of the native tulip poplar, prized for its vertical growth form. Unlike the traditional wide-spreading tulip tree, this cultivar grows tall and narrow, making it ideal for tight yards, streetscapes, and formal landscapes.
The standout feature of the Tulip Tree Fastigiata is its compact, vertical growth, making it perfect for:
In late spring to early summer, the tree produces greenish-yellow flowers with orange markings, resembling tulips. These blooms:
The four-lobed leaves are uniquely shaped and provide lush green foliage during the growing season.
In autumn, the leaves turn a golden yellow, creating a warm seasonal display.
The Fastigiata Tulip Tree thrives in:
1. Planting: This is a large landscape tree and as such, requires a bit of planning before planting. First, measure the area where you would like to plant your hedge or row. You will need the length of the area of planting to estimate the number of trees you need.
When planting, dig a hole for each tree that is three times as wide as the root ball but just as deep. Place the tree, fill in around the tree with the same soil you took out when initially digging the hole. Finally, tamp down as you fill to cut back on any air pockets from forming, water the tree, then mulch to conserve moisture.
2. Watering: For the first two weeks, water your new tree every other day by holding a hose around it and counting to 20. If you don’t have a hose, 2 large watering cans full of water will do (smaller trees may only need a light soaking so a single can may suffice).
The Tulip Tree Fastigiata is a fast-growing tree, typically adding 2–3 feet per year under ideal conditions. Its rapid growth makes it a popular choice for homeowners looking to establish shade or vertical structure quickly.
