SPRING MAGNOLIA

WATERCOLOR & INK

This small Tulip Magnolia is sometimes called a Tulip Tree. There is another tree that also carries that Tulip Tree name causing some confusion. Magnolia soulangiana is a great small tree. And for the month that is in bloom it is extraordinary. The blossoms of Magnolia soulangiana are 4" across or more. The tree can get to 20' or more but is much more manageable if kept under 10-15'. Shaping and controlling the shape of the tree requires trimming several times each year. The smell of the cut wood and leaves is intoxicating.
