MAGNOLIA acuminata
|
Description: Although many of the spectacular yellow magnolias we carry are descendents of M. accuminata, the native North American species itself is a worthy addition to the landscape. It becomes a magnificent giant when grown as a specimen and is a canopy tree in mesic forests, enjoying the moist, well-drained soil conditions similar to those preferred by its cousin the tuliptree, Liriodendron. It needs protection from extreme wind, heat and drought but will tolerate some shade and any moderate pH. The modest-sized greenish-yellow flowers are followed by seedpods("cucumbers") which are eagerly foraged by birds and small mammals.
