What else looks like a Tulip Tree

| I found three trees on my property today that have the same leaf shape as a tulip tree but the bark is smooth, I can't see any blossoms (or missed them if they already bloomed). Does anyone know of a tree that looks similar to a tulip tree? I would certainly appreciate any feedback. Thanks |

| Maybe a young tulip tree? Most trees have smoother bark when they are still relatively small - the corrugations and such appear as the bark has to expand to allow the tree to grow in girth. |

| Is a tulip tree the same as a tulip poplar? They grow very straight and very tall in this area (Augusta Co.) and I believe they are smooth barked. Kiki |

Possibly sycamore. Here's a link:
