Bigleaf Magnolia

GIANT leaves are the main attraction on this upright magnolia, eventually growing to 40′ tall, 25′ wide. Very large and fragrant white flowers with a purple base in early summer, followed by red fruits. Makes a bold statement in the landscape. Sun to shade in evenly moist soil. Deer resistant. Protect from strong winds which can damage the leaves.

Hardy to zone 5
