Royal Star Magnolia is a small, low-branching, flowering tree, which is often grown as a rounded shrub. Especially noteworthy for its compact size, Royal Star makes an excellent hedge or screen. Its star-shaped white flowers bloom best in full sun with moderately moist soil and usually at a younger age, always in late winter to early spring. The tree becomes significantly taller when grown in partially shaded environments and can generally tolerate a range of different soils.
