I really enjoyed the information. And hope to to get a yellow magnolia started in my garden, looks like
Elizabeth from your recommendation, for southern N. Y. I would also like to know about
history of yellow Magnolia. Does it perhaps originate in Asia or maybe Africa ?

I would recommend joining the Magnolia Society International: http://www.magnoliasociety.org. They have an annual seed exchange for members and this would be an excellent place to obtain seed.

I am looking for yellow magnolia seeds. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. Do you know where I can get some seeds?

each year. When is it safe to prune? I live in southernPA.
Is it too late this year? I wanted to do it after blooming, but didn’t get it done. Should I wait until next year? Would it be
better to leave it alone?

Thank you so much.

I planted Golden Gift a few years ago and in 2012 the flowers are so numerous, I can’t take my eyes off of this beautiful specimen.

Can you provide any information on another called “Spiced Spumoni”? It was hybridized by Brooklyn Botanic Garden and is seems only available from Song Sparrow. Is this a cucumber magnolia?

I’ve heard that some do well in zone 4 (where I live). Could you recommend some of the hardiest?
