Description: The Star Magnolia is native to Japan. It is a small tree, sometimes with multiple trunks or stems, with a somewhat spreading shape, but often grown as a large rounded shrub. It is a good choice for the landscape due to its compact size, and features early flowering, with white star-shaped flowers in late winter to early spring.
