- Description
-
While it may not produce as many blooms as other magnolias, the Sweetbay Magnolia should not be counted out of your landscape plans. This tree flowers late in the spring, avoiding much of the frost that can spoil a blooming tree's beauty. It also attracts a wide variety of songbirds with its fall fruit.
Features cup-shaped, sweet (lemony) fragrance, 9-12 petaled, creamy white, waxy flowers (2-3" diameter) which appear in mid-spring and sometimes continue sporadically throughout the summer. Oblong shiny green foliage is silvery beneath. Foliage is evergreen to semi-evergreen in the South, but generally deciduous in the Northern area. Cone-like fruits with bright red seeds mature in fall and can be showy.

Packaged entirely in packing peanuts. The pot was wrapped in plastic bag to keep moisture in. The trees were small babies . Have them inside for the remainder of the winter until ready to plant outdoors. They are green and thriving .Verified Buyer RecommendedSmall but good roots.KeriAnnLocation: INDate: September 3, 2019It arrived well packages with a much larger tree. Once in the ground it did not show signs of stress and has remained healthy. I expect that it will really take off in the spring once the roots really take hold.Verified Buyer Recommended2 Total Reviews
