Magnolias

Jane Magnolia - Height: 10-15 ft, Width: 10-15 ft. Interest: Late spring purple-pink blooms. ‘Jane’ Magnolia is a compact ornamental tree known for its tulip-shaped purple-pink flowers that bloom later in spring, helping avoid frost damage. Its lush green foliage adds summer interest. Plant in full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil. Water regularly during establishment. Minimal pruning needed.

Moonglow Magnolia - Height: 20-30 ft, Width: 15-20 ft. Interest: Fragrant white blooms with glossy foliage. 'Moonglow’ Magnolia produces large, creamy white flowers with a sweet fragrance, set against glossy evergreen foliage. Its upright form makes it ideal as a statement tree. Plant in full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil. Water regularly during establishment. Prune lightly if needed.

Maintenance Tip:
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as magnolias can be slow to recover. Water during dry periods, especially when young, and apply mulch to retain moisture and protect shallow roots. Fertilize in early spring if needed.
