My grandparents had 1. just the one. It was very tall and beautiful and it never had any problems at all. We never had a problem. I live in Northern Kentucky, so when the 1 was just there, it was also in warm and typical cold winters. So that maybe helped it. It was always healthy.
I grew up with at least one of these trees in our expansive backyard. We never had any insects or problems, I remember the tree being enormous and finding strange little flowers that littered the ground from time to time. This is a great video that gave me some info on a tree from memory lane.
Fantastic thorough presentation! Thank you for your time and effort putting it together. I visited San Jose from NC recently and saw some that were struggling quite a bit unfortunately.
I'm in east TN and it's a natural tree for the area. There are probably millions of these around the Smoky Mountains and in the surrounding area. I got one today just to put on the edge of my property to remind me of the hiking trails. They do have a lot of problems if you're not careful and aware of them - and that's why they are so prolific in nature. Thanks for the video!
@@oldzensoul Too hot and humid all summer it's just unbearable and you really can't be active all summer like you up in the north east or out west. Now the Catskills, Hudson Valley, Finger Lakes, Adirondacks that is nice in summer. 78 degrees with a 5 mph breeze and partly sunny skies. You can spend all day outside and you won't turn into a lobster or have have to peel your clothes off before you take a shower before bed.
There are many tulip trees growing in the small town I live in located in central Illinois. They all appear to be very large and healthy. The tulip tree next to my house is huge and probably close to 100 years old. It's quite a specimen. It probably helps that we often have long and cold winters.
Hi Blair. I'm in RI, and a Tulip Tree sprouted in my yard 21/2 to 3 years ago. Unfortunately ly it routed itself in the wrong part of my yard so I relocated it further from our house. Much to my surprise the the tree almost died, but came back the following year, then some kids next door broke it now it has two routes growing on each side of he tree. My questions are: One. Should I allow this tree to continue as it is, or should I prune off one side or he other so it has a single root, or should I up root it al together? Two. If I preserve the tree, how much of the tree stems should I start pruning off, and is there a best time of year to do this? Thanks
Late comment but thanks for the video. Rule is: plant native trees and don’t plant the same one. It’s just like the Ash and Pear trees all over Ohio. I have a gorgeous, giant Tulip... but it’s the only one around and it’s in its native environment.
Just bought a house, and looking for an inaugural tree to plant. It's this tree or sugar gum because they have peculiar leaves. But I think cold weather would stop the scale problem.
@@arboristBlairGlenn don't think so, I haven't seen any. I did have a red maple in my fron yard die from wasp looking insect that laid eggs on the trunk and in turn bored into it, killed the tree in a matter of days
Also the climate where you are is different than the climate here. We get many hard freezes over the winter in my neck of the woods - and snow from time to time. Maybe that'll help?
I live in northwestern Pennsylvania. I just bought a tulip tree it has a lot of branches down the trunk. Would it be ok to trim them off at the bottom thank you
Can a Tulip poplar tree root graft into the old roots of an old tree that was destroyed by a storm and use them to help accellarate growth? I have planted on over the ground down stump of a lost Bradford pear tree that was broken by a storm in 2016. The new tree was a purchase from the National Arbor Day foundation, and was planted in Nov. 2016. Now in it's third summer (2019) it is approaching 15 feet high and growing rapidly with lots of huge leaves. Location is West side of Indianapollis, Indiana. It's in the middle of our front yard with plenty of space around it.
on the east coast where I live in Maryland they are everywhere, but they are usally forest trees, they plant mostly oak trees as street trees like willow oaks they seem to plant them everywhere
yeah probably does kill them , not much snow but yeah does get below freezing at night from late Nov to about early March in the mid 20's and once in awhile we get like 10 degree temps where stays below freezing during the day only lasts a couple of days@@arboristBlairGlenn
This is exactly what's happening to my Tulip tree out in front of my lawn. It was one of the newest tree replanted when I moved into my home about 20 years ago. It's only ~30-40 feet tall. According to my neighbor, there was one before but it died (wouldn't be surprise if it was for the same reason). In recent years, up and down my block there was the problem of the leaking pitch all over the sidewalks due to the Scale insect and the city tried chemical treatment in the soil. It's not doing very well (not as many leaves as it once had) and because of the drought in California it's really not helping these trees at all. However, I really like the Fall colors we get here in my neighborhood due to these trees. Thanks for the video info about these trees. I was hoping to find answer on how I can save this tree. Any ideas?
Not having lived in tropical climate, I’m far from knowing what will work but if you think about a tree’s native environment (Tulip Poplar grows in the east coast, cold winters, goes dormant), then I would guess yes but will not grow right.

You keep saying WE as if WE all live in Calif…………. WE don’t and as an arborist don’t you think a more Balanced perspective would be in order?--- I.E.-- how does it grow in other climates?,, colder climates for instance, say Northern Wi. Or Canada? Or at much higher elevations--??
I have several of these trees on a wooded part of my yard. They are beautiful and I have had no problems with them.

Darijo Blazevic thank you. This is one of my older videos. Hope you get a chance to view a more recent example.
A very similar thing happened in Bismarck, ND in the 1980's. All the street trees were American Elm and all got hit by the dutch elm disease in mass.

soo not a good idea to try one in phx, az even though online they say they go up to zone 9 and 10?
I am in South Carolina with numerous tulip trees in my woods = no problems.
Charlotte Camp different part of the country. Glad these problems are not impacting your trees
Can Tulip trees survive the Louisiana weather? Sorry for so many questions.
I have a seed head of this tree. how do I plant it? does it have to dry out first?
I have a large Tulip tree in my garden. I am in the North of the UK where it will be much colder. It has no problem with scale or insects.
Davey R the cold climates is where this species belongs. I have been to Newcastle.
The largest angiosperm tree in North America- known to grow to 200'
Where will it found ?
wild here in SC. I have several along with maples, 3 different oaks, 45 foot holly trees. wonderful trees here.
Greenville Observer do you have problems with scale?

Leave the small branches to pretext the trunk until it gets larger. Cutting off the small branches down low is good but not yet.

I don't see why not. Do it and make a video
negative.

Do you get cold and snow that put these trees into an insect killing dormancy? I often think about how we import trees from a different climate.
yeah probably does kill them , not much snow but yeah does get below freezing at night from late Nov to about early March in the mid 20's and once in awhile we get like 10 degree temps where stays below freezing during the day only lasts a couple of days@@arboristBlairGlenn

Very difficult to spray for. Some spray companies understand this problem and some don't. Ask questions and ask if they guarantee results
Im thinking that the climate is not suitable too hot and dry, hence the disease problems
Strelitzia Pete you are correct
I'm not so sure about plating one in my garden now
I have same tree. Can't get it to flower though. I am in Nova Scotia, Maybe too far north?
Maybe. I don’t know your weather but I imagine it’s pretty cold!
These trees, along with a sycamore hybrid, are all over the place here in Sacramento.
So...is this in California only? What about their proper zone 4-9????
I’m guessing, in their proper environment the cold will help control the scale.
Will tulip poplar grow in tropical weather.....
Not having lived in tropical climate, I’m far from knowing what will work but if you think about a tree’s native environment (Tulip Poplar grows in the east coast, cold winters, goes dormant), then I would guess yes but will not grow right.
Never seen this issue here in Memphis. Must be lack of predators for scale there or that species of scale is not present out east.
The flowers are gorgeous..just picked them and put in a shallow dish with rim filled w water
Susmita Barua ineed to remember that and bring some home for my wife.
my tree of the day!
What's today's?
Can it available in odisha India & survive
Sorry, I don’t know India. Maybe? Try
so it sounds like the ones growing in their native environments should be fine. it's those outside their home range that are susceptible.
Yes
The olden days..
My video is old
So are we..😂
