Description
A beautiful and unique hybrid patented by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, ‘Elizabeth’ Magnolia is a cross between M. acuminata, cucumber tree, and M. denudata, Yulan magnolia. Before new leaves emerge in spring, abundant bright yellow buds at the tip of every twig on the tree open to very pretty, tulip-shaped soft-yellow flowers with a wonderful lemony fragrance. The large, 5 to 9 inch obovate leaves are rich green and provide lushness in the landscape through the season. Elizabeth grows naturally in a pyramidal form to 20 to 30 feet tall and 15 or so feet wide at maturity. A magnificent tree that will always have you looking forward to spring.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 20 to 30 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide at maturity, the Elizabeth Magnolia is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or to line a drive or walkway in sunny to partially shaded landscape borders. It is also nice to frame corners of homes and other structures. Provides welcome shade when planted near patios, low decks and other outdoor living spaces. Can also be grown in large pots, planters and containers of 18 inches or more in rim diameter but will eventually need to be transplanted to the landscape. A fine addition to yellow theme gardens, fragrance and sensory gardens and cottage gardens.
Growing Preferences
Elizabeth Magnolia is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained acidic soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. It prefers full sun for best flowering, however will handle partial shade. In the South, some shade during the hottest mid-afternoon hours of summer will be appreciated. Avoid constantly soggy or wet soils. In alkaline soils, apply soil sulfur and/or chelated iron to increase acidity. Pruning usually isn’t necessary, however stray or damaged branches can be pruned immediately after flowering in spring. Feed after flowering in spring with a mild organic plant food or a well-balanced shrub and tree food containing iron or sulfur.
