Overview

The Magnolia 'Elizabeth' is a captivating deciduous tree, featuring a pyramidal form with radiant, pale butter-yellow blossoms that emerge before the leaves in early spring. Expect it to reach up to 30-50 feet in height with a 25-35 foot spread. This magnolia requires full sun to partial shade and thrives in moist, acidic, well-drained soils.
