Hi Bonnie,

   That's awesome about your tulip tree blooming!  For those who aren't
   familiar with the blooms, here's one:

   The fruit aren't particularly exciting.  When they first form they
   look a little like okra:

   They eventually split open along the seams, releasing vertical seeds
   and leaving a vertical 'spike' that lasts through the winter.  It's
   not very noticeable unless you're looking for it or you've had a good
   snow that makes it stand out.
