Royal Star Magnolia

Why it rocks:

Considered the best of the Star Magnolia cultivar, Royal Star is an ideal accent tree for smaller home landscapes. This tree features extremely fragrant star-shaped snow-white flowers in early spring. It has dark green foliage throughout the season, changing to a stunning coppery bronze in the fall with pink seed pods. Royal Star is fast growing, and considered the hardiest of all Magnolia.

Where to put it:

Royal Star Magnolia’s compact, shrub-like size makes it an ideal feature tree for tight areas. Royal Star is commonly used in the front or back landscape to provide accent or anchoring, or around a deck or patio. This tree should be planted at least 5ft away from buildings. This is a clump tree, so keep in mind that it will block the view of anything you put it in front of.

What it needs:

Royal Star Magnolia is an extremely tolerant tree which can grow in almost any conditions.
