Bull bay
Magnolia grandiflora
Bull bay magnolia is a magnificent evergreen tree known for its large, fragrant white flowers and glossy dark green foliage, thriving in full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It is a moderately fast grower once established and makes a stunning specimen or shade tree in large gardens and landscapes. Water regularly during the first few years of establishment, and mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
