Choose a site with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably, place the tree at the same depth it grew previously, and backfill with native soil. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season to help the tree establish. Once established, the American Tulip Tree is relatively low-maintenance and moderately drought-tolerant. Prune only as needed to remove dead or damaged branches, preferably in late winter. Protect young trees from deer and other wildlife if necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne (1) American Tulip Tree live bare root plant, 2-3 feet tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836024193334,"sku":"FOLIA2-1892","price":87.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6641106667_eful.jpg?v=1793097472","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/american-tulip-tree-live-bare-root-plant-2-3-ft-liriodendron-tulipifera","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
