Best answer: On this Instagram post of the trees as little baby trees, someone named sparkleturdz comments that they’re tulip poplars.

Best answer: Looking at Google Maps Street view, the leaves on the trees appear to be tulip trees/ tulip poplars.

Best answer: Those are definitely tulip poplars! They grow quickly (upwards of 10 feet each year) and reach impressive heights. Their leaves are very large, which makes them especially grand to look at. As you can see in this picture on the Mansion's Instagram, the trees have the characteristic ridged bark with silver spots.
