Tulip leaves are arranged in an alternate pattern along the stem. This means that each leaf arises from a different point on the stem, rather than being directly opposite each other. This arrangement helps the plant maximize sunlight exposure and reduces shading of the leaves.
Tulip poplar leaves are arranged alternately on the branch, meaning they emerge from opposite sides of the stem in a staggered pattern.
