This is a tulip poplar tree. It’s not edible.
No those are slightly poisonous
Those are [Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera)](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/356831048) flower buds, they don’t make edible fruit. They develop pods that are filled with wind dispersed seeds, so it’s a food source for wildlife that would eat these seeds.
The flowers though are heavy producers of nectar, so they can be important food supplies for bees, hummingbirds, and other pollinators.
Nice picture! Very crisp, i like the colour.
Everything is edible. Sometimes just once 🤷🏼♀️
Tulip poplar!!! My favorite tree! The flowers are beautiful
Looks like Audrey from little shop of horrors
Yes if you’re a squirrel
No, thats a Tulip Tree, those are the flower buds.
lalalalallalala liriodendron!
Tulip poplar.
I don’t know much about how edible it is, but it’s related most closely probably to the magnolia, not poplar IIRC.
Believe it or not, it gets its name, “tulip poplar” from the flowers, not the tulip shaped leaves, which….. yeah.
Actually, “liriodendron” roughly translates to “lily leaf” so, regardless of name, the people in charge were obviously drunk.
**EDIT: looked it up, primarily because I knew some mad lads have tied eating magnolias, and apparently, yes… you can eat the tulip poplar’s flowers.**
Tulip flower bud.
The tulip is actually a member of the magnolia family.
(They aren’t poplars)
The blooms have a very nice honey scent, they attract cedar waxwings and hummingbirds and orioles.
I have a scad of them on my property and I love them.
