Tulip poplar provides pollination for your local habitat. Animals also use Tulip Poplar for many forms of nutrition. Hummingbirds feed on nectar provided by the spring flowers. Tulip Poplar seeds, mature in summer and persist into the winter. These seeds provide food for both birds and mammals, including deer, finches, cardinals, quail, mice, red squirrels, gray squirrels and rabbits.

Fertilization Do not fertilize at planting. Once the trees are established, fertilize in early spring (Mar-April) as growth begins. Do not fertilize in the fall, which could promote late season tender growth that can be damaged by early frosts.
Watering Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center.
