LIRIODENDRON TULIP TREE
This genus is native to the Americas and Asia. A fast growing hardy tree, with 3 lobed leaves that turn clear yellow in autumn. They have yellow/green tulip like flowers which bloom in late May early June.
They enjoy most soils and are commonly found in parks.
I did find an artical given dates when it first come to this country but have lost it. But think it said Virginia had it as it national tree. Also takes 10 years to flower
