Answer 3

Tulip tree, Liriodendron tulipifera

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liriodendro...

It is actually quite a nice tree, having strong wood, well-behaved and vase-shaped when mature, but it will grow too large to be next to a house. It is the state tree for three states, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee.
