Magnolia denudata

Common Name: Yulan Magnolia

Description:
Magnolia denudata, commonly known as Yulan Magnolia, is a breathtaking deciduous tree renowned for its early-spring display of large, creamy-white, goblet-shaped flowers. Blooming on bare branches before the foliage emerges, its fragrant blossoms create a striking, elegant appearance. The deep green, ovate leaves emerge after flowering, providing lush seasonal coverage before turning golden in autumn. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, this magnolia prefers a sunny to partially shaded position with well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It is a slow to moderate grower, making it an excellent choice for feature planting, small gardens, or as part of a mixed border. Regular mulching and occasional pruning help maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth.
