Magnolia x 'Daybreak'

Magnolia x 'Daybreak'                                                                                                               Extremely fragrant, large, glowing pink cup-shaped flowers on a narrow upright form. Hybridized by Dr. August Kehr, and said to be his favorite of all his many crosses. There's no other color like this in the Magnolia world, the eye is drawn to it when it is in bloom. Not only are they beautiful, 'Daybreak' also has the unusual feature of being columnar, with an upright form and clustered, parallel branching resulting in a tree that may be very tall and narrow/pointed. Perfect for small gardens and can even be planted in a hedgerow! Blooms late spring. 25-30'x 10-12', Z5-9.
