Southern Magnolia Tree

This medium-sized evergreen cultivar is celebrated for its dense, pyramidal growth habit and exceptional cold hardiness. Its leathery, lustrous dark green leaves feature a distinctive rusty-brown, velvety underside, creating a striking bi-color effect. In late spring and summer, it produces large, creamy white, cup-shaped flowers that emit a sweet citrus fragrance. Ideal as a specimen tree or privacy screen, it thrives in moist, well-drained, acidic soils and tolerates urban conditions better than the species.
