Southern Elegance for
Virtually Any Yard
A
Remarkable, Hardy Evergreen Magnolia
for Zones 6-10 |
 |
 |
The finest evergreen Magnolia ever
developed. Bracken's Brown Beauty
delivers year-round beauty and
hardiness. These trees have been tested
and survived several weeks of below zero temperatures. It thrives in full
sun and hot conditions. |
|
This
grand magnolia stays green throughout the
year. It blooms reliably at a very young age, and
can be shaped and trimmed.
Hardy ,
Adaptable and
EASY to Grow
Southern by birth, Bracken's Brown Beauty
(PP5520) has enjoyed national acclaim. With
a proud heritage of beauty and durability,
these trees can now be found in several
northern states. They have survived several
weeks of frigid temperatures in northeastern
New York state.
Over 200 were used as street landscaping in
Cincinnati, Ohio, surviving days of record
cold as low as minus 24-degrees below zero
(Fahrenheit). You can understand why this
hardy variety has become the tree of choice
for major city projects in many northern
areas. |
The tree
is symmetrical, with a pyramid of dense
branches of glistening dark green leaves
with cinnamon-brown undersides. The fragrant
cream-white flowers average 5-6 inches
across and are followed by 3-4 inch
orange-red fruity structures. The flowers
are recurrent throughout the growing season
- typically May through October. Mature
height is anticipated to be 50 feet.
Carroll
Gardens is proud to be one of the select few
mail-order nurseries to offer this winner of
the Pennsylvania Horticulture Society 2003
Gold Medal Plant Award.

Just seeing
one of these hardy beauties is reminiscent
of the gorgeous landscapes of Charleston,
Savannah and Atlanta. For Bracken's
Brown Beauty, providing year-round stately
elegance and curb-appeal to any home and
landscape is an easy task. They are also
well suited as landscaping trees in large
industrial complexes, shopping centers,
golf courses, churches and commercial
properties - as they make a fine choice for
large landscape spaces.
Because of their unique beauty and
adaptability, you can look forward to years
of enjoyment and satisfaction.

Planting and Care
Order and plant now. Bracken's
Brown Beauty can safely be
planted late-summer through
early
fall. (Root establishment
before the ground freezes is
important.) Young magnolias
like to get started in a moist,
but well-drained, organic soil.
They prefer acid soil but will
readily tolerate neutral soil –
clay is fine.
Bracken's Brown
Beauty prefers a full sun or
very lightly shaded location.
For best results in Zone 6,
choose a site protected from
cold, drying winter winds.
Plant as soon as
possible.
-
Choose a site with a 12-foot
clearance on each side.
-
Dig the hole as deep as the
root ball and 3-times the
diameter.
-
Your tree should be planted
at the depth it was grown.
-
In dense clay soil, use a
fork to break-up the bottom
of the hole to ensure better
drainage.
-
Mix removed soil with
organic matter, such as
composted manure, peat moss
or LeafGrow.
|
-
Add a neutral organic
fertilizer to the soil mix.
We recommend 2-cups of
Cotton Seed Meal and 1-cup
of Kelp Meal.
-
Place the tree in the hole
carefully to maintain root
ball integrity.
-
Back fill the hole around
the root ball with the soil
mixture. Compress the
soil gently with your hands.
Make sure there are no air
pockets, but do not over
compact the back fill, which
may impede drainage.
-
Water-in and maintain moist,
but not wet, soil until
established.
-
Mulch with 3-inches of a
good quality hardwood
mulch. Replenish mulch in
subsequent seasons until
branch spread covers the
ground.
Fertilization:
To support vigorous growth, we
recommend fertilization for at
least the first four seasons
after planting.
Use the same measure of organic
fertilizers recommended above.
Spread on the ground above the
root ball. Repeat once in the
early spring and again in the
early fall.
