Hybrid Lily Trees

Lily tree is another name for the more commonly known tulip tree or yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). The tree from the magnolia family is a native of the United States and gets its name from tulip-like, yellow and orange spring blooms. The lily tree or tulip tree has a number of hybrids.

  1. Identification

    • Lily tree hybrids include Arnold, aureo-marginatum, compactum and integrifolium. A hybrid plant results from the mixing of two different plant varieties. Hybrids contain all the desirable elements from both parents.

    Description

    • Aureo-marginatum is a variegated hybrid with yellow-bordered foliage. Compactum is a dwarf variety well-suited for growing in smaller areas. Arnold tulip tree has a columnar growth with a mature height of 50 to 70 feet, and integrifolium has distinct, non-lobed, box-like foliage.

    Cultural Conditions

    • Lily trees are hardy in USDA zones five to nine and grow best in areas of partial to full sun. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. These trees prefer a slightly acidic, sandy soil with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. Irrigate regularly in the first year of growth. Fertilize with a slow-release, complete fertilizer in late winter.
