Common nameMagnolia 'Yellow Bird'
FamilyMagnoliaceae
TypeTREE
Botanical nameMagnolia × Yellow Bird

Magnolia × 'Yellow Bird' is a striking hybrid magnolia, notable for its late blooming, butter-yellow, green-tinged, upright tulip-shaped flowers that emerge after the foliage, better protecting them from spring frosts. Its elegant pyramidal habit, exceptional floriferousness, and good hardiness make it a remarkable choice as a specimen accent tree, in a free-standing hedge, or integrated into an ornamental bed. It adapts well to fertile, slightly acidic, well-drained soils and prefers a sunny to semi-shaded exposure, sheltered from dry winds. Its moderate growth, compact and upright structure, and luminous floral color give 'Yellow Bird' a strong and lasting visual impact in Quebec gardens looking for an original, hardy, and low-maintenance magnolia.
