May I transplant my tulip tree?
The tulip tree is quite attractive, but also a very tall tree. Therefore he needs a lot of space. If you have not already considered this when planting, the tree may eventually have to be transplanted, which does not get him well.
It is best to plant the tulip tree immediately to its final location. In addition to sufficient space he needs a lot of sun and a fresh but not wet ground. Reasons for a later transplanting are for example waterlogging, too much wind and unsuitable soil conditions, which can not be changed with difficulty.

By contrast, if the tulip tree has been at its location for two or three years, then it no longer needs winter protection.
