Magnolia grandiflora 'Bracken's Brown Beauty' also
called Brown Beauty Southern Magnolia is considered one of the best
magnolia selections and one of the most cold hardy. It is relatively
compact and dense even in youth and forms multiple breaks from each
shoot and therefore becomes a fuller specimen. The leaves, which are
about 6" long, are a lustrous green on top and a rusty brown underneath
with an undulating surface. The fragrant flowers have a 5 to 6"
diameter. 'Bracken's Brown Beauty' will grown 30 to 50 feet high and 15
to 30 feet wide. This magnolia transplants better than many and it does
not drop as many leaves. 'Bracken's Brown Beauty is a very attractive
stately evergreen that is often used as a specimen planting.
