Southern Magnolia

This broad-leafed evergreen tree is known for its large, fragrant, creamy-white flowers which come into bloom in the summer months. The Southern Magnolia can grow to be quite large, often reaching a height of 80ft with a canopy spread of 40ft. Its flowers, fruits, and seeds attract small wildlife, and its resilient, lustrous green leaves make it a popular choice for ornamental landscaping.
