Magnolia Trees: A Southern Icon Rooted in Beauty and Resilience

Magnolia trees have long been cherished for their lush foliage, creamy white blooms, and rich fragrance. Known as a symbol of strength and natural elegance, these trees are a favorite across the South—and beyond. At TN Nursery, we offer high-quality magnolia trees for homeowners and landscapers seeking timeless beauty and dependable performance. Our trees are grown for adaptability and shipped bare root, ready to thrive in USDA grow zones 5 through 9.

Why Choose Magnolia Trees for Your Landscape?

The magnolia tree is not just a pretty face—it’s an investment in shade, pollinator support, and seasonal beauty. These trees are known for their durability and low maintenance, and they perform well in a variety of soil types. Whether you're drawn to the iconic Sweet Bay Magnolia with its bold evergreen leaves or prefer the delicate, tulip-like blossoms of a Magnolia Jane, TN Nursery has the perfect option to meet your goals.

Magnolias provide year-round structure to your yard. The Sweet Bay Magnolia, for instance, maintains its broadleaf foliage throughout winter, offering greenery even when other trees go bare. Many magnolias are also pollinator magnets—bees and butterflies adore their nectar-rich flowers. This makes them a beautiful and beneficial addition to native and wildlife-friendly gardens.

Best Magnolia Varieties to Grow

• Sweet Bay Magnolia – An evergreen classic with large, glossy leaves and creamy blooms. Perfect for shade and ornamental appeal.
• Magnolia Jane – A cold-hardy hybrid with deep pink-to-purple blooms that occur before the leaves in early spring. Excellent for compact spaces and early color.

Our trees are cultivated to be disease-resistant and easy to transplant. Each magnolia is shipped dormant and bare root, ensuring a stronger start when planted directly in your soil.

Planting and Growing Tips for Magnolia Trees

Magnolias prefer well-drained, barely acidic soil and complete sun to partial shade. To establish a strong root system, water thoroughly upon planting and continue deep watering during the first season. Apply a thick layer of mulch to maintain moisture and regulate temperature. For optimal bloom production, avoid over-pruning and fertilize in early spring before leaf-out begins.

Magnolias are slow-growing at first, but once established, they reward patience with stunning blooms and stately form. If you’re unsure which magnolia variety fits your climate or aesthetic, our team is happy to guide you through the selection process.
