How big do southern magnolias get?

Southern magnolias are large evergreen trees that often grow between 60 and 80 feet tall, spreading about 30 to 40 feet wide. In favorable environments, some can reach over 90 feet. Their growth rate is typically moderate, varying with soil and weather conditions. With the right care, they develop into elegant, long-lasting trees that enhance any landscape.

What is special about magnolias?

Their iconic, large, and highly fragrant blossoms appear dramatically, often before the leaves emerge in the spring, creating a stunning visual display. Furthermore, the blossoms are not comprised of distinct petals and sepals, but instead of undifferentiated parts called "tepals." This unique combination of ancient lineage and spectacular, distinct morphology makes the magnolia genus remarkable.

What do magnolias smell like?

The fragrance is described as rich, creamy, and sweet, with distinct bright notes. 1Many common varieties, particularly the Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), exhibit a refreshing, lively hint of lemon or citronell, and the overall genus is prized in perfumery for its sensual, uplifting, and unmistakable aroma.
