One of the largest and economically most important hardwoods of the eastern forest. often exceeds 100 feet in height and 4-6 feet in diameter. It grows rapidly on many soil types but performs best on moist, rich, well-drained soils. It does not adapt well to very wet or very dry sites. is very intolerant of shade and requires full sunlight for best growth. Seedlings and young trees are very susceptible to fire and mechanical damage. The wood is straight grained and even textured making it desirable for a variety of uses. Yellow poplar is a prized ornamental with its large, conspicuous flowers, tulip-shaped leaves, and brilliant yellow foliage in autumn. The seeds are eaten by birds and other small wildlife.

is shade tolerant but not as tolerant as flowering dogwood. Seedlings are more tolerant than larger trees. It can thrive on a wider range of soil types, textures, moisture, pH, and elevation than any other forest species in North America. It grows on diverse sites from dry ridges to swamps, although its best development is on moderately drained, moist sites. It is prized as an ornamental because of its rapid growth, brightly colored seeds in the spring, and red autumn colors. Red maple seeds are a good source of food for many wildlife species. Seed production may begin as early as age four.
