Comments:
Has beautiful tulip-shaped flowers with petals greenish-yellow marked with orange blotches near the base. This large tree with pyramidal form is used in street plantings, as a shade tree, and for accent or specimen. The flowers attract butterflies. Can have a problem with leaf spot, a leaf disease.
