The Magnolia virginiana, Australis is an outstanding and beautiful tree with many great qualities. The Magnolia virginiana, Australis is an evergreen tree that retains most of its green leaves throughout the winter. It produces fragrant white flowers from May through August, and is a wildlife tree producing seeds that birds devour when ripe. The Australis is fast growing and grows well in either sun or shade. It is rare to find so many great qualities in just one tree. The Australis has a tendency to form multi-trunks like the straight species. We grow them as tree form, but they will grow additional trunks to add more width and screening to the tree over time.
