Growth: Fast
Light: Full sun to part shade
Soil: Adaptable to clay, loam, and sandy soils with good drainage; drought tolerant once established
Central Missouri: Borderline hardy at zone 6a/6b; this evergreen southern magnolia can suffer winter leaf burn or dieback in harsh central Missouri winters, so a sheltered, wind-protected site is recommended
