Having propagated and observed millions of seedlings over the past 45+ years, we’ve found this unique magnolia to be the first distinguished enough to merit patent status. To be distinctly different, to stand the test of time, how does this selection qualify in an already crowded field? First, it’s tightly columnar in habit, so it qualifies to be grown in a wide variety of residential and commercial settings. Second, it’s a solid “nursery plant” meaning it has no observed pest and disease issues, even in the difficult humid, hot conditions of South Carolina where astute plantsman Bob Head acclaims it far superior there to the popular variety, ‘Galaxy’. Sales departments love its quick finish in a container with multiple flower buds. Hardiness of the species is listed as Zones 5-9, so it covers an enormous spread of the country. We’re a premier magnolia propagator; we know how to grow them well. Book some and see for yourself how this one will set your firm apart from the competition.
