Magnolia Yellow Lantern

Magnolia Yellow Lantern Details

Magnolia Yellow Lantern is a popular tree due to its spectacular flowering. It bears masses of large and showy, mildly fragrant, butter yellow flowers through late winter and early spring. These are borne on the naked stems before the foliage emerges. The large and lush foliage emerges soon after which changes from green to yellow in autumn before falling. This deciduous tree typically grows to 9 m tall and 4 m wide and responds well to trimming if growth needs to be contained. It grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of frost and cool climates. Magnolia Yellow Lantern is commonly grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting in a large garden, included in a large cottage garden, or used in avenue plantings. The beauty of this tree will please no matter where it is planted.
