Description

Liriodendron chinense is very similar to the American species, Liriodendron tulipifera, differing in the often slightly larger and more deeply lobed leaves, and in the shorter inner petals in the flowers, which lack the orange pigment of L. tulipifera. The Chinese tulip tree reaches about {{convert|40|m|ft}} tall.WEB,www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200008462, Liriodendron chinense, Xia Nianhe, Liu Yuhu, Liu Yuhu, Hans P.

Cultivation

It is not as hardy as the American species, but is cultivated on other continents as an ornamental tree. It is grown in England (where there are many at Kew Gardens Kew Gardens site on tulip trees {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060417083017www.rbgkew.org.uk/plants/trees/tuliptree.html |date=2006-04-17 }}), Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. In North America, it grows as far north as Boston, Massachusetts, in the east, and Vancouver, British Columbia, in the west. It is a street tree at the University of Victoria and along the Veterans’ Memorial Parkway in Langford, British Columbia.
