Narrative

The name is not established and a listing of an "old tree from Scituate, MA" was recorded by Pat McCracken (then of Taylor's Nursery) as a Taylor's Nursery trial plant in JC Raulston Arboretum bulletin 07 vol. 3 no. 2. This selection might have been discovered and propagated by the late Harry J. Heineman, a magnolia breeder and enthusiast from Scituate, Massachusetts (that is only a guess, however.) -SBL
