		Cucumbertree is the hardiest of the native tree-size magnolias.
		Reproduction of cucumbertree in the forests is scarce because of the destruction of seeds by birds and rodents, high susceptibility of the seedlings to freezing, and the exacting conditions required for germination (18).
		Cucumbertree is a valuable forest and shade tree, highly desirable for ornamental planting because of the showy flowers, fruits, and attractive foliage and bark (18).

		Cucumbertree has large, alternate, medium green leaves that are ovate with wavy margins (left).
		All Magnolias tend to have fuzzy buds, and Cucumbertree is no exception, having silvery-green buds that form by mid-summer (lower left) and mature to silvery-beige buds in winter.

		Cucumbertree magnolia, also known as cucumber magnolia, yellow cucumbertree, yellow-flower magnolia, and mountain magnolia, is the most widespread and hardiest of the eight magnolia species native to the United States, and the only magnolia native to Canada.
		Cucumbertree magnolia is one of the fastest growing magnolias, capable of growing 10 to 15 feet over a 4 to 6 year period, reaching its mature size in about 80 years.
		Cucumbertree magnolia has relatively few insect and disease problems, but is sensitive to frost (do not use it in low-lying areas) and its soft bark seems to invite sapsucker damage.

		Its flowers, which appear after the leaves have expanded, are a glaucous blue-green in bud and open to reveal a greenish outer ring of petals surrounding greenish-yellow to yellow inner petals.
		As with many large tree species, cucumbertree is difficult to root from cuttings, and is propagated primarily from seed.
		Seeds lose viability rapidly in dry storage, and so are best stored moist at 33 to 41 degrees as soon as possible after extraction from fruits and removal of their fleshy seed coats.

		Fraser magnolia (Magnolia fraseri), also called mountain magnolia, earleaf cucumbertree, umbrellatree, or mountain-oread, is a fast-growing small tree scattered in the hardwood forests of the lower Appalachian slopes.
