The Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) is one of the most iconic trees in the American South, with massive glossy evergreen leaves and huge fragrant white flowers. A stately choice for large properties, it provides year-round beauty. Alfaro Tree Sales grows Southern Magnolias at our 40-acre Atascosa nursery.
