| Botanical Name | Magnolia grandiflora 'Bracken's Brown Beauty' |
| Description | The Bracken's Brown Beauty Southern Magnolia is widely considered one of the most reliable and adaptable magnolia cultivars for the Houston metro area. This 15-gallon (15G) specimen is prized for its dense, pyramidal growth habit and exceptional cold and heat tolerance. It features leathery, deep green leaves with a velvety cinnamon-brown underside that provides a beautiful two-tone effect. Throughout the summer, it produces large, saucer-shaped white flowers with a signature lemon fragrance that fills the garden. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade |
| Height x Width | 30-50' Height x 15-25' Width |
| Water | Moderate; prefers deep, regular watering until established. While it can handle heavy clay, ensure it is not in a spot with permanent standing water. |
| Zones | 7 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release evergreen fertilizer in early spring and again in early summer. |
| Pruning | Minimal; remove lower branches only if a "clear trunk" form is preferred. Prune after the summer blooming cycle if shaping is necessary. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
