Magnolia floribunda, commonly known as the Floribunda Magnolia, is an evergreen tree native to the montane forests and lower subtropical forest zones of southern China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. It can reach up to 66 feet in height and is notable for its glossy, dark green leaves and large, fragrant, creamy-white flowers that bloom in the spring and summer, adding a showy display to the landscape. The Floribunda Magnolia has a pyramidal to rounded canopy with smooth gray bark that provides a striking contrast to its foliage.

This species is valued for its ornamental qualities, including its aromatic flowers and year-round foliage. It is often used as a street tree in tropical and subtropical urban areas due to its tolerance of pollution and confined soil spaces. In cultivation, Magnolia floribunda prefers full sun to partial shade, well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils, and regular watering to maintain soil moisture. While it is relatively low-maintenance once established, it may require protection from strong winds and frost in cooler climates. It is also used in traditional medicine in its native range. Potential problems include susceptibility to scale insects and fungal diseases such as leaf spot.CC BY-SA 4.0
