Did you Know? First Nations used the inner bark medicinally as worming medicine, antiarthritic, cough syrup and cholera remedy. Pioneers hollowed out the massive trunk to make a long, lightweight canoe. One of the chief commercial hardwoods, Tulip Poplar is used for furniture, as well as for crates, toys, musical instruments, and pulpwood. This is a favorite nesting tree for birds and the flowers attract hummingbirds.
