MAGNOLIA 'Golden Sun'
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Leach Parentage: acuminata X denudata
Description: "This hybrid has strong yellow flowers with six tepals and heavy substance. The flowers open flat, seven inches in diameter, with prominent green calyces. The tree is floriferous and vigorous, eight feet tall with dense foliage at eight years from seed. In northeastern Ohio, 'Golden Sun' blooms in mid-May before the leaves expand. This cultivar was registered by Dr. David G. Leach, Madison, Ohio, and is a result of his breeding program there. Dr. Leach reports that he used superior forms of both parents in this cross."
