Bracken Evergreen Magnolia
Magnolia grandiflora 'Bracken's Brown Beauty'
Evergreen Magnolia
Currently unavailable
Compact cultivar of species that typically grows to 30’ tall with a dense, narrow, pyramidal-oval crown, and produces flowers and leaves that are approximately one-half the size of those on species’ plants. Leathery evergreen leaves (to 7” long) are glossy dark green above and rusty-brown beneath, lending a bi-color appearance to the foliage. Fragrant, cup-shaped, white flowers (to 4-6” diameter) appear in late spring, with sparse continued flowering throughout the summer. Flowers give way to spherical cone-like fruiting clusters (to 3” long) that mature in late summer, releasing individual rose-red coated seeds suspended on slender threads at maturity.
