Magnolia Yellow Bird

Description

Probably the best lemon yellow flower colour of all  Magnolias,  the yellow flowers of Magnolia ‘Yellow Bird’ have a neat goblet shape, although are not the largest. Blooming in late spring just as the leaves emerge, the creamy yellow flowers contrast wonderfully with the dark green leaves. The leaves add autumn colour as they fade to light golden brown.

As Magnolia ‘Yellow Bird’ flowers in April/May it is a slightly later flowering Magnolia than most and so less at risk of frost damage. Also known as a Yellow Lily tree, ‘Yellow Bird’ has a final height and spread of 7 x 5 metres in 20 years and makes a magnificent large deciduous tree with an almost conical shape.
