The Black tulip magnolia is actually a slow growing dwarf tulip tree. This compact rounded magnolia tree will only reach a height of 1.5 to 3 m (9 to 18 feet).

 

What’s great about magnolia trees is that they have a low and easy maintenance, are frost hardy and give you an abundance of tree flowers in early spring. Do remember that the flowers can be damaged by frost, so plant your magnolia tree under shelter in a partial sunny place.
