What is the rate of tulip tree growth?
Tulip poplars grow at a quick to moderate rate. When they are young, they grow quickly, but as they get older, their rate of growth decreases to a medium rate. More than 25 inches per year is considered a rapid growth rate. An average growth rate is between 13 and 24 inches per year. Tulip trees can be planted for shade in a park or wide lawn, but because they require a lot of space, they are not suitable for crowded urban areas.
