Magnolia 'Southern'
Native to the Southeastern United States, the Southern Magnolia has long lived in the hearts of its admirers and wildlife creatures. These long living evergreens provide food and shelter for a multitude of native birds and small mammals as well as pollinators. Former President Andrew Jackson loved his Southern Magnolia so much he had his own tree transplanted from his home in Nashville, Tennessee in memory of his beloved wife.
