Southern Magnolia
Magnolia grandiflora is a very tough broadleaf evergreen. Its lustrous dark green leaves have a warm, orangish brown pubescence underside that keeps its color in even the most trying of weather conditions. Southern Magnolia have beautiful blooms that come in the Spring and Summer months. These wonderful flowers can be as large as 12 inches across and have an exquisite citrus scent that attract bees and butterflies. Given its robust nature, it is interesting to note that the Magnolia genus originally developed fibrous flowers and leaves to aid in pollination by beetle, long before the appearance of bees. Southern Magnolia is great for wet areas and remains a good urban tree. It is native to the southeastern United States and has been successfully grown as far north as British Columbia in the Western US and Columbus, Ohio in the Eastern US. Southern Magnolia is easy to transplant and is an upright grower that is pyramidal in shape. |
