This exceptional Magnolia species from Japan closely resembles a Star Magnolia when in bloom, with fragrant white flowers that emerge from March to April, just before the leaves appear. It has a pyramidal form in its early years, features non-invasive roots (allowing for planting beneath it), and is known for its remarkable cold hardiness. A Great Plant Picks selection, it offers both beauty and practicality for any garden.

Grows 15-25’ tall. Hardy to USDA zone 4. 7-gallon pot.
