Magnolia grandiflora 'Exmouth', also known as Bull Bay Magnolia, is a cultivar of the Magnolia grandiflora species, which is a large, evergreen tree that belongs to the Magnoliaceae family. This cultivar is named after the town of Exmouth in Devon, England, where it was first propagated in the early 1900s.

'Exmouth' is a slow-growing tree that can reach a height of 10-15 meters and a spread of 5-8 meters. It has a pyramidal shape and produces large, glossy, dark-green leaves that are leathery and slightly fragrant. The leaves can measure up to 25cm long and 12cm wide. The tree produces large, fragrant, creamy-white flowers that can measure up to 25cm in diameter. These flowers appear in late spring and early summer and have a sweet, lemony fragrance.

Bull Bay Magnolia prefers full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. It is tolerant of a range of soil types and is relatively low-maintenance once established. It can be pruned to shape, but this is not usually necessary. The tree is often used as a specimen tree in larger gardens or as an ornamental tree in parks and public spaces. It can also be grown in containers or trained as an espalier.
