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 grandiflora 'Edith Bogue'
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'

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 grandiflora 'Simpson's Hardy'
The original tree was planted near Vincennes, Indiana about 50 years ago. This tree has withstood -25F on a couple occasions, losing leaves but otherwise surviving the cold. It is now in excess of 50 feet tall. more info

From Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio. Very hardy and especially heavy blooming. more info
