Description
A major improvement on the native Southern Magnolia, ‘Claudia Wannamaker’ has proven to be one of the best a most reliable varieties over the years. As with her smaller cousins ‘Little Gem’ Magnolia and ‘Teddy Bear’ Magnolia, Claudia starts producing her large, cup-shaped, fragrant and pristine-white blooms at a very young age, and the smaller, “brown-backed’ wavy leaves are a very deep green with copper-orange undersides. All grown up you can expect Claudia to grow to about 40 feet tall and 20 to 25 feet wide with a dense, pyramidal form that makes her a perfect choice for evergreen privacy screen plantings. Her foliage is excellent year round!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 30 to 40 feet tall and 20 to 25 feet wide, Claudia Wannamaker Magnolia is ideal for use in evergreen privacy screen plantings, as a focal point specimen, to frame in the corners of tall homes or other structures, or as espalier (trained to grow against a wall) on tall, open walls. A fine addition to fragrance, bird and wildlife gardens, cut flower gardens and cottage gardens.Â
Suggested Spacing:Â 12 to 15 feet apart for solid privacy screens;Â 27 feet or more apart for space between trees

Growing Preferences
Claudia Wannamaker Magnolia is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil or average or better fertility and full sun or part shade.

A year ago I had purchased three Claudia Wannamaker Southern Magnolias from a local nursery. Due to my lawn care company one of the trees died. I searched everywhere locally to find a replacement with no luck. A garden friend recommended Wilson Bros Gardens. What a find. Not only did they have Claudia in stock I received my tree five days after ordering. On the outside the box was a little caved in, but the tree on the inside was in excellent condition. The soil was still moist and the tree was perfectly in tact. I can’t wait to see how well she grows. The lawn company has been let go and Wilson Bros Gardens is now my go to site for plants I can’t find locally.———————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
