I have seen this tree planted in gardens, including in a city garden near the marina in Horseshoe Bay. Both times I've seen the tree it has been at least 10 feet tall. Any ideas? Thanks.
Looks like a Magnolia. There are several named cultivars with pale yelow flowers, such as.... Magnolia x brooklynensis Yellow Bird, Magnolia Yellow Fever, Magnolia denudata Yellow River etc.etc https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=M...Q&biw=1117&bih=538&sei=i9PFT__dLpP68QPV8ez1BQ https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=M...F&biw=1117&bih=538&sei=qtPFT5_SGsmo8QOxmK2TBg https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=M...g&biw=1117&bih=538&sei=WtTFT4LQGYnD8QPP16jpBQ
Magnolia denudata 'Yellow River' blooms on bare branches before it gets the leaves, so you can rule that one out.
One of the comparative few that appears repeatedly at outlets here that tree asked about looks like is 'Yellow Bird'. Don't know 'Yellow Fever' but if it produces yellow flowers then it would not be expected to be a pure M. denudata, should therefore not be listed as such.
Thanks for the feedback. My guess was some type of magnolia and it looks likes Yellow Bird is the winner!
