Magnolia stellata ‘Royal Star’, commonly known as Royal Star Magnolia, is a compact, deciduous flowering tree admired for its large, fragrant white blooms that appear in early spring before the foliage emerges. The flowers resemble starbursts, with 25–30 narrow petals per bloom, and create a striking display against bare branches. This slow-growing tree reaches 10 to 20 feet tall and wide with a rounded form and dark green leaves that turn bronze-yellow in fall. Magnolia stellata ‘Royal Star’ is ideal for small gardens, foundation plantings, or as a spring-blooming focal point.
