I have a 80ft tulip (or yellow) poplar in my back yard that is my absolute favorite tree. Just at its base, I've had a tree sprout this season that looks similar to a poplar, but it's leaves just aren't quite right. Does anyone know if young poplars have oddly shaped leaves? If you look at the link, you'll see that although the top of the leaf looks like a poplar, the sides cut in much closer to the midrib vein than a typical yellow poplar leaf. Any help would be much appreciated!!
