Description

‘Bracken’s Brown Beauty’ is a big improvement on the native Southern Magnolia. This evergreen grows to 30 to 40 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide and is noted for its dense, pyramidal form. the thick, leathery, evergreen, glossy dark green leaves with copper-brown undersides and its large, fragrant, cup-shaped white flowers up to 8 inches in diameter bloom in late spring, with sparse continued flowering throughout the summer months. Birds love the attractive red fruits that develop in cone shaped clusters late in the season. Handles temperatures as cold as -20°F.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing upright to 30-40 feet tall and 15-20 feet wide, Brackens Brown Magnolia is ideal for use in evergreen privacy screen plantings, as a focal point specimen, to frame in the corners of tall homes or other structures, or as espalier (trained to grow against a wall) on tall, open walls. A fine addition to fragrance, bird and wildlife gardens, cut flower gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 12 to 15 feet apart for solid screens; 25 feet or more apart for space between trees

Growing Preferences

The tree arrived on time and beautiful. The unpredictable Missouri weather prevented me from planting for a few days but I have her in the ground now! Of course we’re expecting a freeze tomorrow night so I hope she survives! I’m sure she’d prefer living in the South right about now but so would I ??———————————Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
