Description

The Green Shadow Sweetbay Magnolia is a magnificent, easy to grow North American native tree that produces sweetly fragrant, 2- to 3-inch cup-shaped white flowers over a long, 4 month period from late spring through summer. This selection of Sweetbay Magnolia has highly attractive, large and elongated, glossy dark green leaves with silvery undersides. It has the ability to maintain a straight central trunk, which allows it to be grown full to the ground or lower branches can be removed to form a very attractive tree with a visible trunk. Cold hardiness is better than other Sweetbay Magnolia trees. Exceptionally versatile, this amazing tree grows in full sun or shade and tolerates wet or average soil conditions. Hardy in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 5a-10b and evergreen in USDA Zones 7a-10b.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing up to 25 feet tall and 20 feet wide, the Green Shadow Sweetbay Magnolia is ideal for use as a focal point specimen, in groupings, or in straight or staggered rows in privacy screen plantings. Can also be useful to frame the corners of tall homes and other buildings. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, North American Native gardens, and wildlife gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 12 to 15 feet apart for privacy screens; 22 or more feet apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

The Green Shadow Sweet Bay Magnolia is very easy to grow in a most any soil including wet or boggy soils. It grows well in full sun, part shade, or mostly shade.

I was skeptical at first after reading some reviews online. So I made a small order which arrived quickly and the trees were in great shape. Roots were very healthy and not root-bound. Feeling a bit more confident, I placed a second order. This one was shipped quickly as well. However, FedEx dropped the package 10 minutes away and it was found a few days later and the box looked like some kids ran it over with their bikes. The trees looked good like the ones in the first order but they were broken in two and one was completely ripped from the pot and the root ball smashed. These are well packed so this damage could only be done intentionally. So now I have an order that didn’t go so well and this is when a company can either show up or disappear after they were already paid. I contacted Wilson Bros to let them know what was going on, not really expecting a reply, much less the outstanding customer service I received. They kept in touch from the time the package didn’t arrive until I decided on a refund vs replacement. Spencer showed great customer service and I will make many orders in the future with no reservations. I took a gamble on a large online nursery because they carry a selection I couldn’t find many other places, and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the plants I received as well as how they handled an order that didn’t go as planned.———————————————————Thanks for the kind words and awesome review! We are so glad you are pleased, Spencer is the best!! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
