I have a couple snippets off of a tulip tree, just a few buds that haven't flowered yet. Can I plant the buds and will they grow to a tree? Or can I put the end of the piece of branch with buds into water and will it grow or blossom? I know you can do this with some plants like pussy willows and bamboo.
Tulip tree bud?
Hello, not really sure. But if I am not mistaken rhododendrons are started by planting buds. Check with freeplants.com they have a garden question area.
If you put the buds in water, consider hanging on to the dead flowers for a while, just to see if the dead flowers develop tulip tree seeds. Rose of Sharon seeds are found in the dead flowers.

tulip tree flowers let out these little pointy seeds, and when going barefoot, it hurts a lot when stepping on them. Trust me, it's from personal experience
Reply:Flower buds can not be propagated as you propose, and unfortunately, tulip tree does not propagate well vegetatively, except from stump sprouts. http://www.na.fs.fed.us/pubs/silvics_man...
