Saucer Magnolia Tree

This iconic deciduous hybrid forms a broad, multi-trunked small tree with a rounded crown. In early spring, bare branches are festooned with massive, fragrant, goblet-shaped flowers in shades of pink and white. The shiny, dark green leaves emerge later, providing lush summer shade before turning golden brown in autumn. It thrives in moist, acidic, well-drained loams under full sun to part shade, requiring protection from late frosts. Ideal as a dramatic specimen, it offers year-round structural interest.
