Tulip Poplar is the perfect shade tree for wide open spaces. It has a shallow and extensive root system, so ensure you give it space to grow. The attractive and showy, yellow-orange, tulip shaped flowers are where this tree gets its name.
Tulip Poplar is somewhat rare in Canada but highly sought after as it is difficult to grow. Does best in a moist, well-drained soil.
Manchurian Ash is a medium-sized deciduous tree.
Like Black Ash, it has long, serrated green leaves, but matches White Ash in height.
This hardy tree is a great choice for a shade tree on smaller home properties. Manchurian Ash prefers moister soils, making it a great landscape tree.
