This magnificent Magnolia is large and conical in shape, producing lemon-yellow, goblet-shaped flowers in late spring, just as the leaves emerge. The foliage is dark green in colour and contrasts well with the flowers, fading to yellowy brown in autumn. Magnolia x brooklynensis \'Yellow Bird\' will tolerate sun and part shade if grown in a neutral to acidic soil in a sheltered position. Height: 5m (16\'). Spread: 3m (10\'). Please note: When grown as a patio standard, the height and spread will be much smaller, reaching around 1.8m (6\').
