Yellow Poplar
The yellow poplar is a hardwood tree native to North America and is found in every state east of the Mississippi except Maine. It is also called the tulip tree because its leaves are shaped like a tulip flower.
The tree prefers a moderately moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soil and full sunlight. It is among the tallest trees in the forest and can grow to 160 feet. It is used as a shade tree and as lumber to make inexpensive furniture.
