Does a tulip poplar drop a lot of debris?

Litter runs all season: orange-and-green flower tepals in June that stain concrete and get tracked indoors, dry cone-like fruit clusters that shed scales through fall and winter, and steady small twig drop. The one that actually generates phone calls is the sticky film — scale and aphid honeydew that makes decks tacky and grows black mold on siding, gutters, and any vehicle parked under the canopy.

How much tree is dropping it

Commonly 70 to 100 ft tall with a 30 to 50 ft spread in an open yard, and capable of living 200 years or more, so the tree being quoted is usually nowhere near finished. That height on a single straight heavy stem pushes most mature removals into the crane or technical-rigging bracket rather than bucket-truck work, especially in a fenced back yard with no drive access.
