Magnolia' Butterflies'
Choose Butterflies Magnolia if you want a tidy spring focal tree with yellow flowers, not another pink or white bloomer. The tradeoff: early magnolia flowers can be bothered by late New England frosts, especially in exposed sites.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The yellow spring bloom gives it strong focal value before most trees leaf out. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows at a useful pace without becoming a fast shade-tree problem. |
| Maintenance | B | It needs good placement more than regular pruning, but flower buds can take weather damage. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother this tree; it is a dependable choice where deer are a concern, though young trunks can still be rubbed. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | The upright habit fits many residential yards, but it still needs breathing room. |
| Screening Value | D | It is grown for flowers and form, not for privacy or year-round cover. |
At PGNE, we'd typically place Butterflies Magnolia where it gets sun, decent air movement, and some protection from harsh wind, not in a cold pocket where early buds are more exposed.
| Mature Height | 17.5 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 12.5 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 5a-8b |
| Spacing | 12.5 ft |
| Sun | Full Sun to Part Shade |

Usually, but late frost can damage open flowers or swelling buds.
Very little; prune only for damaged or crossing branches after flowering.
Yes, if you allow enough space for the mature canopy.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
