Description: The Royal Star Magnolia is well known for its stunning fragrant white star shaped flowers in the early spring. It is one of the first trees to bloom which makes it prone to being hit by the frost. Typically, it has a low canopy with a clearance of 3-5’ off the ground. It grows best in full sun to partial shade near structures to shield it from wind and frost. The flowers are large with 30 pedals or more and have a faint pink blush at the base.
