Hi neighbor, my name is Tulip Tree
My latin name is Liriodendron tulipifera
Trees like me living in Jackson Park provide critical habitat for bees and hummingbirds.
My family is a native species in Chicago
We also host the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) and the Tulip Tree Silkmoth (Callosamia angulifera). Click here to learn more about how we provide food and shelter to butterflies and moths.
