Tulip Tree

Tulip Tree

Tulip Tree

I recently heard about the Tulip tree and was on a walk and then, I saw one. Do you see that the flower looks just like a tulip?

I have also noticed Ginkgo biloba trees being planted in the neighbourhood by the city to replace trees that were damaged in a storm 2 years ago. It seems this is the oldest living tree species and has many medical uses for treating various diseases such as blood disorders, memory, and eye health. This was interesting, I thought.

Those tulip trees look lovely. It's nice they're replacing the damaged ones too. Shame it took two years but better late than never.

The tulip tree looks lovely and besides it is interesting to know it has several medicinal uses. I have not see a tulip tree.

Best wishes

I was talking with an arborist a couple of months ago about the maple tree we have planted between the sidewalk and the street, and he said they're recommending ginkgo trees for those locations now.

I've never heard of a tulip tree before, nor do I think I've seen one. Your photographs are lovely!
