Liriodendron tulipifera 'Aureomarginatum' Liriodendron tulipifera 'Aureomarginatum'

This cultivar grows more slowly than the species and has a narrower crown that later widens. The trunk is grey and, when older, develops shallow grooves: the young twigs are greenish-grey, later reddish-brown. The leaves are 4-lobed and the top is straight to incised with a shallow V. Each leaf has a wide greenish-yellow edge that turns light green in the course of the summer. The leaves have a bluish-green underside and they turn yellow in the autumn. The flowers appear after the emergence of the leaves. They have a green exterior and a yellow plus orange interior. They are approx. 4 cm long and 6 cm broad. The conical fruit consists of many winged nutlets pressed together in a spiral. Deep loose soil is required because of the deeply penetrating fleshy taproot.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
