Bronze Sentinel (own roots) |
18-24" |
Mag. tamaulipana selection that has leaves about the same size as Mag. grandiflora, but the leaves are a beautiful dusty grey-green. This selection is also MUCH more cold hardy than the species. I have had little damage down to about zero degrees F. Below this, expect some dieback, but will likely regrow from the ground. Very beautiful as a foliage plant!!! One of my favorites. RARE and nearly never offered. Limited supply so please order quickly. |

10-15" |
M. x soulangiana with small (for a M x soul.), dark purple flowers. My favorite M. x soulangiana due to the large number of flowers produced and that it blooms about two weeks later than other M. x soulangiana cultivars. Typically avoids our late frosts here.. |

Colossus |
36-48" |
M. sieboldii from the late August Kehr's breeding program. Reportedly a hexaploid (there seems to be some question as to the validity of this) with much larger than normal leaves and flowers. Flowers are white with red stamens and can vary from year to year (even branch to branch!) from single, semi-double to fully double flowers. Blooms off and on through most of the summer and sometimes into the fall. This is the ONLY M. sieboldii that I can grow here in our hot climate - great for both warm and cold climates! |

denudata (McCracken's Variegated" |
12-24" |
This is my own selection of denudata that has cream splashes throughout the leaves. The very best variegated forms have all been sold already (at $150 each) and these are the plants that didn't show as much color in the leaves. We are selling them for $35 and you take the chance of the variegation not being very good (they may get better next season?). An inexpensive chance to get a very good plant - for that matter, there are NO bad Mag. denudata!!! Limited numbers available. |

Encore (own roots) |
10-12" |
M.kobus var. loebneri ‘Ballerina’ seedling from the late August Kehr. Flowers are very pale pink (white) and multitepaled. The plant produces multiple flower buds at each internode and they open over a very extended period. Even if the flowers are damaged by cold, there are more buds coming along behind to keep the plant blooming for MANY weeks. Compact growth habit so good for small gardens. FANTASTIC plant! |

M.acuminata var.subcordata ‘Miss Honeybee’ x M. ‘Sundance’ selection from the late August Kehr. This is one of my favorite yellow magnolias but has some difficulties in production, so we rarely produce it. Small, bright gold flowers. The small flower size is made up for by the masses of flowers produced. Appears to be a smaller growing tree. RARELY offered and sure to sell out quickly. |

M.sargentiana var. robusta x M.campbellii selection from the UK. Surprising it has been hardy here in North Carolina (I suspect it will flower too early in the spring to ever bloom here). Large dark purplish red flowers (very much like Lannarth). Strong grower. I've never seen this in collections in the USA. This would be a fantastic tree for the West coast of the USA. RARE! |

M. zenii (Cholipo form) |
36" |
Mag. zenii selection that came from seeds from the Cholipo arboretum in Korea. From what we have seen over the years, all Mag. zenii forms seem to be very frost hardy when in flower (we have seen flowers undamaged at 24 degrees F.). There has been very limited germplasm of this species in the USA and this gives us new blood! Flowers on this are typical of the species - white to pale pink with a darker pink stripe on the outside of the tepals. Strong, upright habit. Never before offered! |

Mag. dealbata (seedlings) |
3-6" |
Mag. dealbata is the Mexican equivalent to Mag. macrophylla. I always thought that this plant was best for warm zone 8 and south, but have heard rumors of plants in zone 7. These plants have had a long trip - I couldn't find a seed source here in the USA, but have a friend in New Zealand that has a very beautiful tree that seeds heavily every year. So here is a Mexican species available from seeds collected in New Zealand and sold in the USA! |

Magnolia fordiana var. yuyuensis (seedlings) |
6" |
This truly must be one of the most beautiful evergreen trees in the World! Very long, narrow, glossy evergreen leaves and a strongly pyramidal growth habit. Even without flowers, this tree is the nicest tree we have in the garden. Our original tree took ~14 years from seed to flower (can take up to 20 years). Flowers are white with bright reddish pink stamens (looks like M. sieboldii) and face upwards. Blooms for about 3 weeks. We have been very fortunate to have a small batch of seedlings available this year - RARELY offered and we will not have any for years to come. Order quickly! |

nitida var. lotungensis |
12" |
M. nitida var. lotungensis or M. lotungensis (I'm very confused yet on this one!) In my mind, the very best of the evergreen magnolias!!! Very narrow growth habit with small, EXTREMELY glossy leaves. Completely cold hardy here to a few degrees below zero f. To my knowledge, this species has not yet bloomed in the USA, but will have small, cream colored flowers. Unfortunately, very difficult to propagate and is therefore rather expensive. Certainly worth trying into zone 6. EXTREMELY LIMITED - order quickly! |

sieboldii x Sweet Summer |
15" |
This is one of the most unusual crosses ever done! M. sieboldii (tetraploid form) x (M. virginiana x M. grandiflora 'Samuel Sommers'). This plant was hybridized by Frank Galyon and has yet to bloom. Most people would not realize that this isn't a M. grandiflora since it has large, evergreen leaves (totally amazing since the mother is deciduous!!!). My plant bloomed for the first time this spring and had small, fully double, white flowers with no reproductive parts at all. We had a TERRIBLE spring this year, and I suspect that the flowers had been damaged by the cold and hope that the flowers are much bigger this coming season. The I've only offered this once or twice before and will likely not produce it again for several more years. It is rather difficult to propagate so due to this and it's extreme RARITY, the price is rather high. This is potentially one of the very best magnolias that has ever been developed! |

Southern Belle |
12" |
M.sieboldii x ( M.tripetala x M.obovata) selection from the late August Kehr. This plant is very similar to Mag. x weisnerii, but is MUCH more heat adapted due to the Mag. tripetala parentage. Has very large leaves and white flowers with red stamens. Will make a large tree in time. This is VERY difficult to graft and it would probably be best to plant these with the graft union well underground in hopes of getting the plant to produce roots above the graft union. RARE and CHOICE! |

Sun Sprite |
12-15" |
An unregistered (and not officially named) selection from the late August Kehr. This is a sister seedling to his famous 'Sunspire' and has the same extremely narrow growth habit but is MUCH slower growing. At 15 years old, the original plant is not much more than 12 feet tall and about a foot wide!!! Deep golden yellow flowers with strong purple flush at base of tepals. EXTREMELY late blooming. VERY RARE and would work in even the narrowest space in your garden! Very limited. |

Sunsation |
10-15" |
An August Kehr hybrid with very large, golden yellow flowers with a purple blush at the base of the tepals. Flower color can vary from year to year (in warm spring temperatures, the flower color is paler yellow and more purple showing). Extremely heavy blooming and typically will bloom the first year from grafting (this is a very rare trait in yellow flowering magnolias). Growth habit is densely pyramidal (could be used in a formal garden!). VERY late blooming - one of the very latest of all spring flowering magnolias that we have, so late frosts are rarely an issue with this great plant! |

M. x brooklynensis ‘Woodsman’ x M. ‘Elizabeth’ selection from the late August Kehr. Medium gold colored flowers often with a strong purplish blush at the base of the tepals. Blooms very late in the spring, so if rarely damaged by frost. Growth habit is STRONGLY upright and the foliage is dark green and beautifully ruffled along the edges. GREAT for small gardens where horizontal space is limited. |

Mag. virginiana. This is my FAVORITE Mag. virginiana selection!!! Leaves are tiny (about 1 inch long and 1/2 inch wide). Flowers are about 2 inches across and are produced over a long period in the summer. The plant habit is very dense and shrubby, but will make a small tree in time. EXTREMELY difficult to propagate (only one plant available out of nearly 1000 cuttings!), so the price is high. One of the most choice plants that I grow! Only one small plant available and sure to go fast! RARE and DIFFICULT to produce! |

Two Stones |
12" |
M. kobus. This tetraploid was produced by August Kehr and is like a kobus but with all parts larger. Fast growing and will produce a perfectly shaped tree. The strange name came about accidentally. When August Kehr first noticed this tree in his field, he wanted to mark it for future evaluation. At the time, he didn't have anything with him to mark the tree with, so he picked up two stones from the field and put them beside the tree. Not much of a name to be sure, but an interesting story of how names can come about! My favorite, white flowering M. kobus. FANTASTIC tree!!! |
