Read some of the reviews here, and elsewhere, this is a truly unique and spectacular screening or architectural plant. It keeps a very tight knit, compact shape and habit. Foliage is dark green with shiny leaves, slightly more rounded than other forms like little gem and Kay Parris. 

Under side of the leaf is reddish-brown with a soft felt feel. Ideal as a spectacular screening plant, or as a stand alone feature tree. Magnolia Teddy Bear is a hybrid variety of magnolia tree that was developed in New Zealand. 

The Teddy Bear magnolia is named for its large, fuzzy buds that open up to reveal fragrant, cup-shaped flowers in the spring. The flowers are white with a pinkish-purple blush on the outside, and can reach up to 20cm in diameter. The tree also has glossy, dark green leaves that provide a lush backdrop for the blooms.
