Fraser's magnolia
Magnolia fraseri
Fraser's magnolia is a striking deciduous tree native to Appalachian woodlands, renowned for its large fragrant white flowers and bold, ear-lobed leaves. Plant in moist, well-drained acidic soil with protection from harsh afternoon sun and strong winds to prevent leaf scorch. Minimal pruning is needed; water consistently during dry periods and mulch heavily around the base to preserve soil moisture.
