| Botanical Name | Magnolia virginiana |
| Description | The Sweetbay Magnolia Tree is a quintessential choice for Houston landscapes, especially in areas with poor drainage. This 30-gallon (30G) specimen is highly valued for its tolerance of "wet feet" and heavy clay soils. Its slender, lance-shaped leaves feature a striking silvery-white underside that shimmers in the Gulf breeze. In late spring and summer, it produces smaller, cup-shaped white flowers with a delightful citrus fragrance, followed by ornamental red seeded pods in the fall. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade |
| Height x Width | 20-30' Height x 15-20' Width |
| Water | High; thrives in moist to wet soils. Ideal for low-lying spots in the yard or near water features. |
| Zones | 5 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply an acidic, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to prevent leaf yellowing (chlorosis) in alkaline soils. |
| Pruning | Minimal; can be grown as a multi-trunk specimen or pruned to a single trunk. Remove dead or damaged wood in late winter. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
