A deciduous ornamental tree known for its bright yellow, tulip-shaped flowers that appear in late spring after the foliage begins to emerge. The blooms are less susceptible to frost damage because they open later than many other magnolias.
This tree has an upright, pyramidal growth habit when young, becoming more rounded with age. It is well suited as a specimen tree in residential landscapes. It prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. In Ontario, planting in a protected location helps support consistent flowering.
