Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Our original plant is 20+ tall after 40 years. This upright grower has small dark green leaves. The white 3-4” flowers are each beautiful in their own right. The pointed tepals and pink rimmed stamens are pretty. The plant is also a mass display each March.

Magnolia salicifolia 'Elsie Frye' is a fairly tight upright tree with, as one would expect from any salicifolia, narrow dark green leaves and white flowers. It is precocious so the ones in my nursery flower; in fact the pic here was in the greenhouse last year on the size plant you will get.
