Product Description
The Bracken’s Brown Beauty Magnolia’s compact pyramidal form features beautiful, large white flowers that make it an exceptional choice as an accent tree for your landscape.
The Bracken’s Brown Beauty is a significant evergreen magnolia cultivar with extensive winter hardiness. It is a compact magnolia tree that will typically grow to be 30 feet tall with a dense, narrow oval crown. This plant produces large fragrant, cup-shaped, creamy white flowers that appear in late spring with sparse flowering throughout the summer.
Its evergreen leaves are glossy dark green above and rusty-brown on the undersides, lending a bi-color appearance to the foliage. The magnolia tree flowers will give way to spherical fruiting cone clusters that mature in late summer. At full maturity it releases red coated seeds on slender threads.
The Bracken’s Brown Beauty thrives in full sunlight to partial shade and can tolerate very wet areas and cold winters. Our most cold hardy magnolia tree thrives in most of the United States growing zones 5-9.
This tree grows in all types of climates making it one of our favorite southern magnolias.

Great trees! Ordered 1 tree as a test run, then 2 more because I was happy about the results of the first tree. All 3 tree are between 3&1/2 – 4 feet tall, as advertised. Pot size is about 10inches by 10inches, its about a 3gallon sized pot/rootball, with roots starting to poke out the bottom. They did a good job packing the trees and shipping was fast. Saved about 100% versus buying from local nursery. Would do business again

Precocious! I planted a tiny 10″ Brakens in 2013 that I purchased thru Jackson & Perkins ($50!). It had 1 bloom at 1.5′ in 2014, 2 blooms 2015, 4 blooms 2016 at 3′. Then a week ago a snow came and broke it completely in half. Recommend staking! Definitely replacing thru Perfect Plants!

Ordered 2 of these trees! They are absolutely beautiful and perfect just like the name of the company describes. I will be planting these out in the spring and am sure they will thrive. I will definitely be ordering more plants in the future!

We bought one tree as a centerpiece for our circle driveway. My husband wanted the largest tree they sold. The large tree was heavy and not very easy for an old man to get planted. Be mindful if you order the large trees, they will be taller than you when you unpack them. Tree has been planted 1 week and looks nice.

Over the years, I have always loved Magnolias & grew up down south where they are abundant but in my adult life my husband was in the Military & we moved around a lot and ended up settling up north. I have tried buying southern Magnolias & hardening them myself by keeping it in the garage over the first winter. I have also purchased from other companies but Perfectplants has the most beautiful Magnolia trees that I have seen shipped, ever! I almost cried when I opened the box & there were about 4 blooms on the tree already!!! The tree was taller than I expected & full of leaves – I felt like it was my birthday or something !! Plus I always get some discount from Perfectplants, so I couldn’t be happier. I’ve had lots of disappointments with shopping online for plants but not with Perfectplants, they have earned a life long customer!

Order our two trees in Spring of 2018 and they came with blooms. Reminds me of our travels thru the south. Small point to make for others, the Bracken Brown is very cold hardy, so they will grow at our Tennessee home.

Purchased 7 of these trees in both sizes. The larger ones are true to size and all come in very healthy conditions. The BB version, I feel, is a better all round tree as it can handle the colder temps, and for us here in Central TX, the occasional hard freeze which have stunted the Little Gems I have. Overall, great deal, great trees, and Perfect Plants is a solid company to deal with. I continue to spend entirely too much money with them (shh, don’t tell the wife), and they never disappoint on the quality.
