Magnolia × brooklynensis 'Yellow Bird'
Regarded as one of the best yellow-flowered Magnolias, Magnolia ‘Yellow Bird’ is an upright, conical to pyramidal, deciduous shrub or tree of breathtaking beauty when in full bloom. Masses of goblet-shaped, lemon-yellow flowers, 3 in. across (7 cm), appear in late spring as the new leaves emerge. Held upright, each sunny bloom counts up to 6 tepals and may last up to 3 weeks. The foliage of elliptic green leaves turns golden-brown in fall.
Introduced by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in 1981, ‘Yellow Bird’ is a hybrid Magnolia resulting from a cross between M. acuminata var. subcordata and M. x brooklynensis ‘Evamaria’.
