Magnolia stellata rosea
is one of the early bloomers in our garden. The profusion of two-tone pink
flowers on a tree with no leaves brings a bit of spring to the middle of the
winter in our climate. Magnolia stellata rosea grows upright,
generally twice as tall as wide. After 15 years in the ground
ours is keeping pace at 15 feet tall. The Pink Star Magnolia is more upright than
the species and tends to bloom a few weeks earlier. Both the pink
and white varieties are slow
growing trees.
