Commonly known as Southern Magnolia, one of the oldest known varieties of magnolia trees which many call the Heirloom Magnolia. A classic tree in any landscape, the Southern Magnolia is an easily identifiable tree with large, glossy, dark green leaves and gorgeous white large flowers. Leaves are dark with a red, rusty-colored underside. The flowers produce distinctive bright red seeds in cone-shaped pods that adds to the beauty of this variety.
While native to the Southeastern U.S.A., it has been growing all over the eastern seaboard. However, we find the aroma of truly grown southern heirloom Magnolia should be experienced, from the southern soil from which it is native. You definitely will not mistake this one as the same as a magnolia oil from China. Cannot deceive a keen nose!
We harvest these flowers from a family-owned small farm in the Southeast USA that has two Heirloom 40-year-old White Magnolia Trees on the property. We harvested these flowers at night when their aroma was strongest and steam distilled them to get the best essential oil results. True, rare White Magnolia oil is around $300-$380 per ounce. It takes a lot of flowers to create this lovely oil.
Therapeutically, Magnolia is said to increase circulation, act as a sedative to relax sore muscles, calm skin irritation, also, beneficial and relaxing to both the mind and body. It makes a lovely natural perfume.
