Moonglow Sweetbay Magnolia (Magnolia virginiana 'Jim Wilson')

Moonglow Sweetbay Magnolia (Magnolia virginiana 'Jim Wilson'), is a graceful deciduous to semi-evergreen small tree valued for glossy foliage and creamy white, fragrant flowers that can appear from late spring into summer. It offers a lighter, more relaxed magnolia look than the heavy, broad canopy types, with leaves that often show a silvery underside that flashes in the breeze. The bloom season can stretch for weeks, bringing a fresh, citrusy fragrance to patios and walkways when many spring flowering trees are already finished. With its refined habit and dependable performance, Moonglow Sweetbay Magnolia can serve as a focal point in mixed borders, woodland edges, and near outdoor living spaces.

Distinctive Features

The flowers are creamy white, cup-shaped, and pleasantly fragrant, often opening over a longer period than many magnolias, which helps extend seasonal interest well into early summer. Foliage is rich green with a softer, pale underside that adds movement and a luminous quality in wind. This selection is valued for a well-branched habit and an overall canopy that looks composed without frequent pruning, making it easy to use as a specimen tree or an anchor in layered plantings. In fall, ornamental seed pods may develop and later reveal red seeds, adding subtle detail and seasonal character.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun to part shade; best flowering and fullness in full sun, with part shade helpful in hotter sites.
  • Soil: Moist, well-drained to consistently moist soil; tolerates heavier soils and periodic wetness better than many magnolias.
  • Water: Moderate to regular; prefers consistent moisture, especially during establishment and summer heat.
  • USDA Hardiness Zones: 5 to 9.
  • Habit: Small tree with a rounded to softly pyramidal habit; deciduous to semi-evergreen depending on winter temperatures.
  • Mature Size: About 20 to 30 feet tall and 10 to 20 feet wide.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Plant where summer flowers and fragrance can be enjoyed from a patio, porch, or main garden view.
  • Fragrant Garden Feature: Place near walkways and seating areas to catch the scent during bloom season.
  • Woodland Edge Accent: Use in lightly shaded edges where the foliage texture looks natural and layered.
  • Mixed Border Anchor: Add a small canopy tree that provides summer bloom and a clean silhouette behind shrubs and perennials.
  • Moist Area Planting: A strong choice for consistently moist sites, including low areas that stay damp but not stagnant.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Water deeply and regularly in the first one to two seasons; maintain moisture during drought to support flowering and leaf quality.
  • Mulching: Apply 2 to 3 inches of mulch over the root zone to conserve moisture and protect roots, keeping mulch off the trunk.
  • Fertilizing: Feed lightly in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer if growth is slow; avoid overfertilizing.
  • Pruning: Minimal pruning needed; remove dead or crossing branches after flowering, and avoid heavy pruning.
  • Winter Character: In colder zones it may drop more leaves; in milder winters it can hold more foliage, especially in protected sites.

Why Choose Moonglow Sweetbay Magnolia?

  • Extended Bloom Season: Flowers later than many magnolias and can continue into summer for longer seasonal interest.
  • Fragrant White Flowers: Creamy blooms add scent and a refined magnolia look near outdoor living spaces.
  • Graceful Foliage Texture: Glossy leaves with pale undersides bring movement and contrast through the growing season.
  • Moist-Soil Adaptability: Tolerates consistently moist conditions better than many ornamental trees.
  • Landscape Versatility: Works as a specimen, woodland edge tree, or focal point in mixed borders and residential landscapes.

If you want a magnolia that offers a longer bloom season, light fragrance, and a graceful canopy that fits naturally into home landscapes, Moonglow Sweetbay Magnolia provides dependable structure and focal point appeal from late spring through summer.

Ca10910 2017 Mitchu Outlander Sport
CA10910 Fits: Mitsubishi outlander sport 2017 Matches factory one/design etc- Only takes a few mins to swap out.The air box is frustrating to begin with, it has nothing to do with filter,don’t trim,tuck or cut. Adjust and line up the actual air box. (Not my first rodeo changing it) Idk about performance: I just changed it. Going to assume much better being my old one was overdue. Can’t beat the price/value. 5Stars bc it looks and feels identical to factory, (Will update if any issues;don’t expect any) 4/2026

Poor fit, filter compartment won't close completely.
Mitsubishi Outlander SE 2017 (not sport). However, the filter doesn't fit properly. The edges on the bottom are too thick and don't compress to fit. I was able to force it to close, but it was way too tight. Original has thinner edges. FRAM filter from Walmart worked great. I'll go back to those after this one.
