Elizabeth Magnolia Tree

Looking for an elegant tree that will take center stage in your landscape? The Elizabeth Magnolia Tree (Magnolia x 'Elizabeth') is an incredible selection. This beautiful ornamental shade tree grows tall but stays narrow and erupts in the softest barely-there yellow blossoms that are scented and upright!

The color is simply delicious. You'll be reminded of the pale, buttery yellow of shortbread or sugar cookies before they are iced. The Tulip-like blossoms bring in the butterflies and fresh color before the leaves appear, filling out the bare branches in dark green beauty all summer long. Autumn brings lemony-yellow fall color and occasionally, this mostly sterile tree produces upright seedpods with red berry-like fruit that birds love.

Elizabeth is a deciduous pyramidal Magnolia tree that grows over time to 30 - 40 feet in height but stays a slimmer 15 - 20 feet in width. Cold-hardy throughout USDA planting zones 4 through 8, Elizabeth is wonderfully easy to grow and low-maintenance!

Landscape Application:

You'll be entranced with Elizabeth as she puts on her spring show for you, producing large, creamy yellow blooms before the leaves come on in the spring. Known as one of the best yellow Magnolias, this variety is a bit more restrained than other yellow Magnolias!

Well-suited for use as a landscape specimen, and a wonderful shade tree with its wide-spread branches. It's wonderful to choose a place where you'll be able to see the scrumptious blooms from inside your house, too! After the flowers fade, you'll appreciate the long dark green leaves for their delightful shade and sheltering songbirds.

If you've had a long, cold winter, consider pruning a few of the budded branches and bringing them inside in late February to "force" the blooms in a vase of warm water placed in a sunny, cool spot. Use a spray bottle to mist the branches and change the water every few days. What a treat to watch the blooms open in a wonderful preview of spring!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Easy to grow Magnolias flower and grow best in full sun but can tolerate afternoon shade in hotter growing zones. Plant in about any kind of well-drained soil that is organically rich and slightly acidic. Moderate yet regular moisture access is important, especially for young trees, but once established they become self-sustaining, only needing supplemental moisture during prolonged drought.

Protect this Magnolia from the worst of the winter winds by selecting a protected spot in your yard. Prune right after the flowers fade if needed.

• Full Sun Trees
• Well-Drained Soil
• Moderate Moisture Needs
• Prune After Flowering
• Easy to Grow & Widely Adaptable
