A stunning accent tree for general landscape use, featuring large snow-white flowers in spring, neat foliage and a picturesque habit of growth; very adaptable, large growing, may take years to flower, but one of the hardiest tree magnolias.
Kobus Magnolia is a deciduous tree with a distinctive and refined pyramidal form. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other landscape plants with finer foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance tree and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Kobus Magnolia is clothed in stunning fragrant white star-shaped flowers with purple eyes at the ends of the branches in early spring before the leaves. It has dark green deciduous foliage. The large pointy leaves turn yellow in fall. The fruits are showy pink pods displayed from early to mid fall.
Kobus Magnolia will grow to be about 25 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 20 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 5 feet from the ground and should not be planted underneath power lines. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 80 years or more.
