Magnolia fraseri var. pyramidata

Pyramid magnolia is a graceful, small deciduous tree native to the southeastern United States, prized for its large white flowers and attractive ear-lobed leaves. Plant it in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil in a partly shaded to sunny location, and mulch generously to protect its shallow roots from heat and drought. Prune only lightly after flowering, as heavy pruning can reduce next season's blooms.
