Indiana:
The tulip tree has long been acknowledged in Indiana history. A valuable timber and shade tree, it's fast growing and the tallest of the eastern hardwoods. A lightweight wood, it was used to craft canoes by Native Americans and to build shelter and other structures by early settlers.
Today the easily worked light yellow wood maintains a high commercial value because of its versatility and as a substitute for scarce softwoods in furniture and framing construction. The tulip tree is also valued as a honey tree, a source of food for song and game birds, rabbits, squirrels, mice, and whitetail deer.
Designation as the official state tree wasn't the first official recognition given to the tulip tree. The distinctive tulip tree leaf is found in the border of the State Seal of Indiana designed in the 1800s and from 1923 to 1931 the blossom of the tulip tree served as the official floral emblem of Indiana.
In 1931, an effort was exerted to replace the blossom of the tulip tree with the zinnia as Indiana's state flower. It was rumored that a certain grower of zinnia seeds in the state was responsible for legislation. The publicity generated by declaring the zinnia Indiana's official flower would have most certainly helped sell zinnia seeds!
It appears that a solution was achieved that was satisfactory to both parties to the state flower debate. The zinnia would replace the blossom of the tulip tree as the state's official flower and the tulip tree would be designated the official state tree of Indiana.
The tulip tree (liriodendron tulipifera) was adopted as the official State tree of Indiana by an act of the State legislature approved on March 3, 1931.
The tulip tree is also referred to as the tuliptree, tulip magnolia, yellow poplar, tulip poplar, white poplar and whitewood as well as hyphenated variations on those names.
