Description

A unique and interesting hybrid, the Yellow Bird Magnolia, also known as yellow tulip tree, produces an abundance of tulip-like flowers with bright yellow petals that are perched upright at the ends of almost every stem on the tree in spring. The flower buds begin opening just before new leaves emerge and continue over a long period of about 45 days. The large, elongated leaves are rich green with a somewhat leathery appearance, which contrasts nicely with other landscape plants that have a lighter or darker foliage. Grows naturally in a conical to pyramidal form up to 40 feet tall and 25 feet wide so leave plenty of space for this magnificent tree to grow.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 30 to 40 feet tall and 20 to 25 feet wide at maturity, the Yellow Bird Magnolia is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or to line a drive or walkway in sunny to partially shaded landscape borders and is also nice to frame corners or grow against a large open wall in tall home foundation plantings. Provides welcome shade when planted near patios, low decks and other outdoor living spaces. Can also be grown in large pots, planters and containers of 18 inches or more in rim diameter. A fine addition to yellow theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Growing Preferences

Yellow Bird Magnolia is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained acidic soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. It prefers full sun for best flowering, however will handle partial shade. In the South, some shade during the hottest mid-afternoon hours of summer will be appreciated. Avoid constantly soggy or wet soils. In alkaline soils, apply soil sulfur and/or chelated iron to increase acidity. Pruning usually isn’t necessary, however stray or damaged branches can be pruned immediately after flowering in spring. Feed after flowering in spring with a mild organic plant food or a well-balanced shrub and tree food containing iron or sulfur.

I just recently started as Groundskeeper at an Assisted Living facility. In 2017 a family had planted a yellow Magnolia tree in memory of a loved one. Alas, it died! Wilson Bros website had a plethora of information on which tree would do best in our growing zone and planting and care instructions. The tree arrived well packaged and in strong/healthy condition. I have high hopes for it!———————————————————-Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope it does well for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I ‘ve purchased 3 different items from you. 1. Sea Foam Camilla 2. Yellow-Bird Magnolia 3. Carolina Midnight.
All 3 came very quickly and packaged well. All 3 were planted immediately and are doing well. None of the plants went into shock. The magnolia has developed many leaves. All of the plants like where they have been placed.
I am very pleased with every part of your business.
Keep up the good work and best of luck.————————————————————Thanks so much for your review. Let us know if there’s ever anything we can help you with. 🙂 – Beth | WBG

My Magnolia came in perfect condition, I planted it the same way I planted my other 6 Purple magnolias different flower shapes. I’m happy with my Yellow one; I will see the flowers at the end of year or beginning of Spring, the only thing that bothers me is some leaves are turning Yellow; are you sure this Magnolia is for zone 9, when I check before I buy it seems it was, What do you think?——————————————–Yes it is hardy in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones: 5a-9b. We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG

We have been wanting a Yellow Bird Tulip Tree for several years and every time we looked online they were not in stock. We got on the waiting list to be notified when they were back in stock, and BOOM, when they were in stock we received an email. We ordered the tree and it shipped just as requested and arrived very quickly. The tree was packaged very nicely and came to us with all kind of new buds. We are eagerly waiting for them to open! The tree is very healthy and the service was excellent. Thanks Wilson Bros Gardens. Job well done!

Two yellow bird magnolias arrived today and seem to be in fine shape.

Tree was purchased in 3 gallon pot. Arrived in perfect condition. Full foliage. Planted 2 days later and is thriving. Couldn’t be more impressed with quality of plant and prompt service. Wilson Bros. will be only on-line source for quality plant material I will consider.

Beautiful root and foliage, and expertly packed. Arrived very healthy and is starting to fill out a bit in just one week.

This plant came in excellent condition and is beautiful. It has been planted in a prime location for curb appeal in the center of a large open area as you turn in my gate. I eagerly anticipate seeing the magnificent blooms and watch it grow into a wonderful tree. ———————— WBG Reply: Hi Frances – Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Yellow Bird Magnolia and we hope you enjoy it for years to come.
