These larger varieties are an excellent centerpiece for yards. A large Magnolia tree can create shade, making them a welcome addition to yards throughout Houston.

Plant a few along a property line, and they can create a beautiful privacy screen so that you can enjoy your yard in private. They love full sun and can tolerate urban pollution, too.
