Every fall we make a trip to a NJ specialty nursery in search of new magnolia cultivars  to offer at our fall plant sale.  This year we brought home fifteen varieties  including the native cultivars, M. virginiana 'Plena' and M. acuminata 'Skyland's Best', as well as a number of yellow-flowered hybrid forms. 'Elizabeth', 'Sunsation', 'Butterbowl' and 'Hattie Carthan' are some of the lovely cultivars that get their yellow "genes" from a Magnolia acuminata parent.  Magnoliaphiles will want to come early to the plant sale on Saturday, September 12, 2009 , to get the best selection as quantities are limited.  We hope to see you then!
