Magnolia grandiflora 'Bracken's Brown Beauty'
Mature Size: 40-50′ x 20-30′
Hardiness Zone: 5b thru 9
Outstanding Characteristics: Excellent ‘brown-back’ Magnolia, large creamy white summer flower followed by a large cone with small red fruit in the fall. Large green wavy leaves with reddish-brown backs. Unusual cold hardiness for Southern Magnolias.
Notes: Excellent as a screen or stand alone specimen. Fertilize heavily the first spring and summer after transplanting and maintain good moisture throughout the growing season to minimize leaf drop form transplanting shock.
