MAGNOLIA denudata 'Gere'
Size(s) available for nursery only pickup: Size 5-6' - $75.00
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: J. C. McDaniel
Description: 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. It was first noticed as a mature (70 year old) tree in an Illinois churchyard by plantsman Joe McDaniel before 1980, and given the name to be found on the nearest tombstone. A slow grower, it will eventually reach 30'.
