Description

Its large, simple leathery appearance makes the pyramidal Magnolia grandiflora perfect for either a street or lawn tree, reaching 25'-60' tall. Its glossy leaves are 4"-8" long. Powerfully fragrant blooms are evident through summer and fall. If these trees are grafted, they are more predictable (may take 15 years to bloom). Ungrafted trees will take only 2-3 years. Restricted root areas or heavy soils will slow the growth process.

Water Saving Tip:

In general, lawns only need to be watered once every three days.

Check your irrigation controller and reduce watering times if necessary.
