Best magnolia trees – choose one of these magical varieties and it will light up your yard

Composite for magnolias.

Easy to grow, tolerant of shady conditions, and available in a range of heights to suit all spaces, these stunning trees are universally popular. One likely reason for this is their prolific clusters of showy blooms in white, pink or red, as well as the fact that many of them are beautifully scented too.

These are excellent landscaping trees, especially as they come in both evergreen and deciduous types. As well as tall and stately specimen trees, you can also get magnolias in smaller, multi-stemmed shrubby varieties, and for this reason they make it onto our list of the best trees for small gardens. There really is one to suit every space.
