Jenny, In general, tuliptree and white pine are comparable in growth rate. That same topic came up a couple of years ago, and I posted my thoughts here: http://www.nativetreesociety.org/species/sp_threads/tuliptree_vs_white_pine_growth.htm
As far as whether tuliptree is regenerating on its own, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "in all those places". I see tuliptree as being less site specific than what Will described, although I'm sure his comments are a good description of tuliptree in the Atlantic Coastal Plain. In the southeastern piedmont and southern Appalachians, tuliptree is widespread on moist sites and often forms nearly pure stands on formerly farmed areas. For old-growth near New York City, Minnewaska State Park and Mianus Gorge Preserve might be places to check. Others more familiar with the area will probably have better suggestions.
