Finding a better yellow Magnolia is going to be difficult. Large, precocious and tulip-formed flowers with 10-14 petals, a deep, lively yellow in April-May with red stamens like those of the 'Elizabeth'. Will flower from a young age. Lovely compact, erect and pyramidal plant, floriferous, well ramified and vigorous. Hybrid of the Magnolia acuminata 'Fertile Myrtle' and M. denudata 'Sawada's Cream'.
