National Plant Network's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening! Judy Zuk' Magnolia is a striking small to medium-sized deciduous tree prized for its fragrant tulip-shaped yellow flowers softly flushed with plum pink in early spring as the foliage begins to emerge. It thrives in USDA Zones 5 through 9 in full sun to part shade with well-drained, moist, slightly acidic soil and adapts well once established. Use it as a specimen or accent where its upright columnar form, compact width and seasonal interest; from early blooms to copper-bronze autumn foliage deliver year-round impact.
