The last Friday in April is National Arbor Day; it is a perfect time to plant a tree. It is an ideal moment to add a low-maintenance tree with fragrant flowers that supports pollinators and wildlife in your garden. So let me introduce you to a sweetbay magnolia.
With citrus-scented white flowers that pollinators adore, and fruits and seeds that provide food for birds, this compact native tree is perfect for any wildlife garden. It is impressively flexible and can be grown in full sun or partial shade and is more tolerant of wetter conditions than other magnolias.
