  • Description

  • Notes

'Royal Star' is a deciduous magnolia with an upright, densely branched, multi-stemmed habit that could be considered a large shrub or small tree that grows at a moderate rate to 10 to 15 feet tall and 10 to 12 feet wide. It has large, frangrant, double white flowers that appear before the foliage emerges. Blooms later than the species so is a better choice as the flowers are less likely to be damaged by a spring frost. Leaves are large, a soft green, and not as leathery as the evergreen varieties.
