Liriodendron chinense

The rare Chinese Tulip Tree, differing from its big American cousin in its smaller stature and more ornamental, narrower waisted leaves more glaucous beneath and purplish on expansion. Similar tulip-like flowers in summer and excellent yellow autumn colour. Impressively strong growing, to eventually make a fully hardy medium sized tree on any ordinary soil. For smaller spaces or for a very exotic look, this can be coppiced or pollarded, where it will produce spectacular outsized leaves.
