The question of tulip tree as bonsai has been asked several times over the years, esp. on the IBC forum, and the answer was invariably that this specie was not suited to bonsai, as the leaves are large and won't reduce, ditto for the flowers. I paid particular attention, as I would have loved to have this beautiful tree as a bonsai. Instead I had it as a garden tree.
