The Saucer Magnolia is a popular deciduous tree with low branching that widens with age to form a rounded spreading crown. Its large, rich green foliage turns yellow in fall. The highly fragrant bell-shaped flowers can be white, pink, or purple on the outside and bloom in spring before the leaves emerge.
