Snowy White Blooms and Dense Shade

Why Sweetbay Magnolia Trees?

The Sweetbay Magnolia Tree delivers creamy-white blooms on a beautiful, dense shade tree. And this magnolia's stunning flowers burst in late spring and early summer, giving you a blizzard of blooms.

Often grown as ornamental or showpiece trees, the Sweetbay's beauty belies the strength within. This is one of the most pest resistant Magnolia Tree you can find. It can tolerate very moist soils and can even survive standing water. So, the glossy green leaves with a silver-tinted underside, signature for the Sweetbay, grow without much effort on your part.

    Looks lovely straight from the box. Arrived during a late snowstorm here in Maine, so I’ve got it in a temporary 5 gallon pot awaiting a spring planting. She’s a beautiful tree!

    Tree for wet area

    Purchased for wet area and eco benefits. Tree came with a good healthy root ball at correct root flare height and several healthy branches. Planted right away as an oak flat understory tree. Overall happy with this speciman.
