A magnificent, tree that will be evergreen or deciduous depending on your local climate. It is conically shaped with green, ovate leathery leaves.
It bears large fragrant, creamy/white to primrose yellow, cup-shaped flowers in springtime. Flower buds are frost tender though so ensure it is protected from cold spring winds which will damage the delicate flowers.
This magnolia is particularly spectacular, especially as yellow is a rather unusual colour.
