The flowers on this lovely Magnolia are big dudes! Large, upright, tulip-shaped blooms are dark-pink on the outside and white on the inside. The blossoms cover this medium sized (30' plus) fast-growing tree in spring before the smooth medium-green leaves give it a pretty summer coat. Large showy pink fruit also give this M. soulangeana 'Wada's Picture' x M. sprengeri 'Diva' cross interest. S/M
