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 |
|---|---|

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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!
