First planted as exotic park additions by Victorian planners, mature tulip trees now populate key public grounds across south Liverpool, including Princes and Calderstones parks. Although summer drought recently disrupted their typical uniform golden canopy at Camp Hill by altering leaf pigments, their environmental value remains critical.

Might the summer drought have disrupted the pigment battle between anthocyanins and carotenoids?
