Bloom PeriodEarly Spring, Late Spring
Growing Zones 5-9
Magnolias are wonderful, and beloved by so many people for their heart-catching blooms every spring. If you are shopping for a beautiful accent tree, you'll just love any of the Magnolias. But perhaps you'd like to... kick it up a notch?
Knock your landscape out of the park this spring with the Galaxy Magnolia Tree (Magnolia x 'Galaxy') and get ready for the show! You will have to wait a few weeks longer for these amazing blooms, however, that's a good thing!
The gorgeous blooms fill out the bare branches before the leaves appear so they won't have to share the spotlight! The green leaves appear and fill out the tree fully all summer until autumn when they transform into a soothing yellow.
Most Magnolias worry us with their penchant for blooming in a risk zone for frost. If you live in an area prone to early spring or even late spring frosts that kill your flower buds, Galaxy is more than worth the wait! Not the Galaxy. It's been bred to bloom later to avoid those late spring snow storms that wreak havoc on other varieties throughout USDA planting zones 5 to 9.
Landscape Application:
Let's not kid ourselves, though. You grow this beautiful specimen tree for its outstanding flower color, impressive size, and fantastic later flowering habit! A flowering tree this big and full of blooms will knock your socks off each spring and shade your yard all summer long! The gorgeous blooms fill out the bare branches before the leaves appear so they won't have to share the spotlight!
This Magnolia puts on its yearly show with a compact spread and eye-catching height. You'll appreciate the strength of the branches on this variety, too. Now, let's talk about size because Galaxy has some hefty height and width at maturity that lives up to its name! If you are blessed with a large yard, its 30 - 35 foot height and 15 - 20 foot spread will fit right in!
This single-trunked ornamental is ideal as a lawn accent and shade tree! The narrower width makes Galaxy a fantastic street tree and these Magnolias stand up to urban pollution and city environments with ease!
- Curved Purplish-Pink Scented Blooms
- Large Green Deciduous Leaves
- Single-Trunked Narrower Form
- Late Spring Bloom Resists Unexpected Frosts
- Shade Trees, Street Trees, Specimens & Tall Flowering Focal Points
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Magnolias need full sun to flower and grow their best, and are best planted in a well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Water your newly installed trees regularly using the Finger Test to ensure they do not dry out between waterings, but once established, Magnolias only need supplemental moisture during extended drought. Mulch the base of your tree with 3-4 inches of arborist bark chips to keep them happier and stress-free.
Strong storms will still cause trouble, so we advise that you situate this tree out of the worst of your winds. Did you know you can call your local airport to get the direction of your prevailing winds? Give it protection, so you can truly enjoy those fantastic flowers. Prune any damaged, crossing, or wayward branches right after those flowers fade.
