Magnolia grandiflora
Southern Magnolia is a native, evergreen flowering tree that grows to be 60’-80’ tall and 30’-50’ wide. They grow best in full sun to partial shade, with moist, rich, acidic well-drained soils. With their dark green leathery leaves and their large, heavily fragrant white flowers in late spring and summer, Southern Magnolias make a great addition to Florida landscapes as part of a privacy screen or specimen plant. Their flowers predate bees, so they are instead pollinated by beetles, but their seeds provide food for birds and small mammals, and their dense branches provide year-round cover for local wildlife.
