Edith Bogue Magnolia — 15 Gallon
(Magnolia grandiflora ‘Edith Bogue’)
Tree Description
The Edith Bogue Magnolia is one of the most cold-hardy Southern Magnolia varieties, making it an excellent evergreen tree for landscapes in central Missouri. This beautiful broadleaf evergreen features large, glossy dark-green leaves and produces large, fragrant white flowers in late spring and early summer.
Its upright pyramidal growth habit creates a classic, elegant form that works well as a specimen tree, evergreen screen, or focal point in the landscape. Unlike many southern magnolias, the Edith Bogue variety performs well in colder climates while still providing the iconic magnolia look and fragrance.
These 15-gallon trees are already well established at approximately 9–10 feet tall, giving homeowners an immediate evergreen presence in the landscape while still being easy to plant and establish.
