Ponderosa Pine vs Tulip Poplar
Pinus ponderosa
Liriodendron tulipifera
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Ponderosa Pine is the tallest known pine in North America. This popular evergreen has distinctive, textured bark and long needles.
This makes it an excellent ornamental tree for landscaping on large properties. Ponderosa Pine is hardy in a variety of soil conditions.
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.
