Magnolia
If rhododendrons are the "King of Shrubs", then magnolias are surely the "Queen of Trees! From the earliest blooms of Spring to the fragrant flowers of Summer, magnolias offer a wide selection of color and form. The past several decades have produced an explosion of new magnolia cultivars, beginning with the ground-breaking breeding work done at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Augie Kehr, David Leach, Phil Savage and Dennis Ledvina. The diversity of colors include white (mostly found in M. kobus, loebneri, denudata, virginiana and grandiflora. yellow (accuminata and its hybrids), pink (soulangeana). These are just a sampling of colors, species and breeders We like to think that we offer the largest selection of magnolias in the US. Most of our offerings are in 2 gallon pots and are budded(a type of grafting) onto cold-hardy and drought-tolerant M. kobus understock. The use of this understock produces healthy, fast growing trees with nice straight single trunks. A few of our offerings are grown on their own roots from cuttings, or from seed in the case of wild species. These are noted in the descriptions. Some of these varieties are extremely new and still quite rare, so we may only have a couple to offer, hence the higher prices.

MAGNOLIA 'Yellow Bird'
(C) Intense yellow color and compact, upright shape of its flowers. Blooms several weeks later than 'Elizabeth', so it is less likely to get frosted. Flowers are larger and a deeper yellow than acuminata. (5-6' Add $15 Extra Shipping) more info

MAGNOLIA 'Yellow Lantern'
(C8) Large lemon yellow flowers are tulip-shaped and very long lasting. Fertile and good breeder. more info

MAGNOLIA acuminata
The modest-sized greenish-yellow flowers are followed by seedpods("cucumbers") which are eagerly foraged by birds and small mammals. The native North American species itself is a worthy addition to the landscape. more info

MAGNOLIA acuminata 'Brenda'
Currently the deepest yellow flowered magnolia. Flower is the same size as 'Butterflies', but a much brighter color. The leaves are thick and dark. more info

MAGNOLIA acuminata var subcordata 'Skyland's Best'
(FC) Bright yellow flowers and blooms two times per year (early spring and late summer). Growth habit is compact and pyramidal. more info

MAGNOLIA acuminata var. subcordata 'Koban Dori'
(C8) Canary yellow flowers are 3 inches across in a small neatly cupped bloom. Smaller growing plant with more refined lighter branches and dainty pyramidal habit. Blooms occur when lime green leaves are flushing in spring. more info

MAGNOLIA denudata 'Gere'
Deliciously fragrant, large, vase shaped, pure white flowers adorn this shrubby tree in late spring. Blooms 2-3 weeks later than either typical M. denudata or M. x soulangeana, thus avoiding the worst of late frosts. more info

MAGNOLIA grandiflora 'Beysdorfer'
A variety found in the yard of George Beysdorfer in Norwalk Connecticut. A large tree in Madison, CT., propagated from the original was severely damaged by -18F on Christmas day in 1980. That aside, it normally does pretty well in southern coastal CT. more info

MAGNOLIA grandiflora 'Brackens Brown Beauty'
(C) Considered the hardiest form of Southern Magnolia, this also has a nice dense habit and shape. The leaves are about two-thirds typical size, and covered underneath with a fuzzy brown indumentum. more info

MAGNOLIA grandiflora 'D.D. Blanchard'
(C8) A compact and pyramidal growth habit. The flowers are creamy white globe-shaped with fantastic fragrance. The leaff tops are dark shiny green and the backs are covered with rusty-brown felt. more info

MAGNOLIA grandiflora 'Edith Bogue'
(C8) It has excellent tight, pyramidal form, and lustrous dark green leaves with light tomentum on the undersides. Hardy throughout Zone 6, possibly Zone 5 in sheltered locations. more info

MAGNOLIA grandiflora 'Kay Parris'
(C8) Extremely glossy, bright green leaves with deep orangy-brown furry undersides, unlike the scant fuzz on 'Little Gem'. Flowers for many months. Growth is faster and habit is upright and does not fall apart like 'Little Gem'. more info

MAGNOLIA grandiflora 'Pocono'
Leaves are green, without the brown indumentum on the underside of some other grandiflora varieties. Flowers are creamy white, very fragrant and about 8 inches across in July. The foliage withstands bad winters. more info

MAGNOLIA kobus
A shrubby tree with "star-like" white flowers. more info

MAGNOLIA kobus 'Morris Fragrant'
Extremely abundant and fragrant double white flowers cover the tree in early spring. The delicious sweet fragrance has been described as that of grape soda or grape bubble gum! more info
