Moonglow Sweetbay Magnolia 'Jim Wilson' is a multi-stemmed tree with creamy white flowers and glossy green foliage. Thrives in moist, well-draining acidic soils and best in partial shade to full sun. Reblooming sporadically, the very aromatic blooms can be cut and enjoyed inside. The flowers give way to cone-like fruits that turn red when mature. Sweetbay Magnolias perform best in consistently moist soils.
