This magnolia can be grown as a shrub or a small tree. We acquired it to celebrate the birth of our daughter Lily, and hope it will brighten our lives and hers for many years to come. Last spring it bloomed for the first time in our garden, and we think it's worthy of our beautiful baby girl. More flowers this year!

| Mark Sperber | Dec 29, 2005 | This is the tree that my mother, Evamaria Sperber, was famous for. She hybridized it many years ago at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Eve passed away on April 17, 2005 and I am proud that this beautiful legacy remains for people to remember her. You may contact me if you would like any information on her or photos, background on her work, etc. by emailing me at raymarkcd at aol dot com
Thanks, Mark. Your mother sure left behind a beauty - I can't think of a nicer thing to be remembered for. |
| Jacqueline Jordan | Apr 30, 2008 | The Elizabeth is one of my favorite magnolias. It is absolutely gorgeous! Another favorite of mine which is quite rare is the magnolia "Eva Maria" hybridized by, and named for, the hybridizer of the "Elizabeth" Evamaria Sperber. |
