As the name suggests, Eskimo features snow-white flowers.
Eskimo is a cross between Magnolia x soulangea 'Lennei' and Magnolia kobus 'Norman Gould'. It was raised by Dr August E. Kehr, who after a long career in the US Dept. of Agriculture retired in 1978 to concentrate on plant breeding. He raised some 30 different Magnolias, including Eskimo.
