Tuliptree (Liriodendron tulipifera)

Truncate Leaf Apex

The leaf base or apex is perpendicular to leaf petiole and relatively straight across.

The leaves of the Tuliptree fall between broadly-notched and truncate. There are not many woody plants in Central Illinois which display this characteristic.
