Acer platanoides
Liriodendron tulipifera
CUSTOM GROW
COMING SOON
(new stock expected: fall of 2026)
Norway Maple is a tolerant and adaptable shade tree. This is probably why it is the most popularly planted boulevard tree in North America.
Note: Norway Maple will sucker with age. It's also not a good idea to plant it under power lines.
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.
