Description
Magnolia, Yellow Bird is a stunning ornamental tree that delivers a refreshing splash of brilliant yellow blooms in late spring. Its upright, pyramidal form and glossy green foliage create a polished, structured presence in the landscape. The magnificent, cup-shaped flowers emerge in a rich buttery-yellow, standing out beautifully against the fresh spring foliage. Unlike many magnolias that bloom early, Yellow Bird flowers later in the season, reducing the risk of frost damage and extending the display of its exquisite blossoms. In fall, the foliage takes on a satisfying golden-bronze hue, adding another layer of seasonal interest. This striking tree makes an outstanding focal point, bringing bold color and elegance to any landscape.

General Care

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun to part sun
• Watering: Once established, water occasionally, keeping soil evenly moist but well-drained
• Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature
• Pruning: Prune after flowering if shaping is needed, removing only dead or crossing branches

With its bold yellow blooms, refined structure, and multi-season appeal, Magnolia, Yellow Bird is one of the finest choices for adding refreshing color, elegance, and a grand presence to the landscape.
