Victoria Southern Magnolia

The Victoria Southern Magnolia is a selection of that beautiful tree that is renowned for thriving in areas like the northeast, where winters are mild but summers are cool and damp. It develops into a large, upright tree with dense branching to resist heavy snow, and grows between 20 and 50 feet tall, depending on where in the country it is growing. The beautiful leaves are at least 8 inches long, with a dark-green glossy surface and a furry underside of rusty-red hairs. The fragrant flowers are up to 12 inches across, with thick petals of creamy-white.

• Beautiful upright evergreen tree 20 to 50 feet tall
• Handsome glossy leaves with rust-red undersides
• Foot-wide fragrant summer blooms of creamy white
• The best variety for areas with cool summers and mild winters
• Easily grown and long-lived

Full sun is best for the Victoria Southern Magnolia, especially in cooler zones, and it grows well in most soils, favoring rich, deep, well-drained soils, but very adaptable. Once established it is drought resistant and generally free of pests, diseases, deer damage, and the impact of salt-spray. It needs no trimming or special attention, and is very easy to grow.
