Magnolia Yellow Bird is a charming and distinctive cultivar renowned for its vibrant display of cheerful blossoms and elegant form. This deciduous tree possesses a compact, upright habit, typically reaching heights of around 8 metres at maturity, making it an excellent choice for gardens of various sizes, including smaller urban landscapes.

The hallmark feature of this variety is its striking yellow flowers, which emerge in early to midSspring before the foliage appears. These large, goblet-shaped blooms boast a sunny disposition, brightening the landscape with their luminous hue and adding a touch of warmth to the garden palette. Their delightful fragrance further enhances the sensory experience, attracting bees and butterflies to the garden.

Following the flowering period, the tree’s glossy green foliage emerges, providing an attractive backdrop for the remainder of the growing season. The leaves retain their lush green coloration throughout the Summer, contributing to the tree’s overall ornamental appeal.

Magnolia Yellow Bird thrives in well-drained, fertile soils and prefers a location with full sun to partial shade, although it can tolerate a range of light conditions. With its moderate maintenance requirements and captivating floral display, this cultivar is sure to enchant gardeners and admirers alike, bringing a ray of sunshine to any outdoor space with its radiant blooms and graceful presence.

How to care for your Magnolia Yellow Bird

  • Planting: Choose a site that receives full sun to partial shade and has well-draining soil.
  • Watering: The tree should be watered regularly during its first year of growth to help establish its root system. Afterward, the tree can be watered deeply and infrequently, as it prefers slightly moist soil. Avoid overwatering or letting the soil become waterlogged, as this can lead to root rot.
  • Fertilising: Does not require frequent fertilisation. However, it can benefit from a slow-release fertiliser once a year, applied in early Spring before the tree begins to leaf out.
  • Pruning: Prune the tree in late Winter or early Spring before new growth appears. Remove any damaged, diseased, or crossing branches, as well as any weak or spindly growth. This will help promote healthy growth and improve the tree’s overall appearance.
  • Mulching: Adding a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree can help retain moisture in the soil and suppress weed growth. Avoid piling the mulch up against the tree trunk, as this can lead to rot.

By following these care tips, you can help your Magnolia Yellow Bird tree grow healthy and beautiful for many years to come.
