This is among one of the oldest forms of Magnolia grown today. A symbol of purity, beautiful, ivory white, goblet shaped blooms appear on bare limbs from late winter to early spring, releasing a subtle citrus scent into the air. Leaves are dark green above with lighter tones on the undersides. This variety is slow growing with a short trunk and non-invasive, shallow root system, making it suitable to plant closer to buildings, providing highly sought after shade in summer.
