Southern Magnolia
The Southern Magnolia tree, ‘Magnolia grandiflora’. They don’t call this “grandiflora” for nothing: it’s royalty among trees in the South. People treasure their Magnolias for their magnificent strength, fantastically fragrant blossoms and their incomparable beauty. The Southern Magnolia seems to be especially fond of Georgia, where it is prolific and grows particularly well. With its polished evergreen foliage and inescapable perfume, this is one of the most breathtaking native trees for Southern landscapes. It will readily adapt to most soils, moisture fluctuations and light conditions, though it prefers moist, well-drained, acidic soil and plenty of sun. Pest problems are virtually non-existent. This tree will provide a pleasing background for shrubs, particularly needle evergreens. It should be planted where lowest branches can grow to the ground because it is difficult to grow anything underneath. Zones 6-10. Flowering Tree Fragrant Flowers Evergreen
