The kobus is a wonderful variety of Magnolia and the large white flowers are a welcome addition to any garden in early spring. When mature, the flowers well and truly smother the tree and create a vision of snowy white. The spring flowers later become fruits and the pink fruits split to reveal vivid scarlet seeds, which are popular with the birds. This deciduous tree holds vivid green leaves in spring and summer and the obovate leaves are delicately aromatic. This tree is a Japanese native and it is well-suited to being planted in a medium-sized garden.
