Magnolia Tree - Leonard Messel

This gorgeous pink-flowering Magnolia can be treated as a small tree or large shrub. Plant up close to enjoy the flowers from indoor or outdoor living spaces.

It is more often grown in a multi-trunked form than in a single trunk tree. Beautiful fragrant star-like white flowers appear in spring before the foliage. The strap-like petals are similar to Star Magnolia.
