FAQ

Which plant does this Tulip Tree verdict cover?

Liriodendron tulipifera. The ASPCA's Tulip Poplar entry gives that scientific name, and its Additional Common Names field reads "tulip tree". This verdict follows that entry. Verdapaw's tulip record gives Tulipa spp. Plants with other scientific names are not covered or graded here. Check the scientific name on the tag.

Does the Tulip Poplar entry name horses as well as cats and dogs?

Yes. It reads "Non-Toxic to Dogs, Non-Toxic to Cats, Non-Toxic to Horses" and gives the scientific name "Liriodendron tulipifera".
