Magnolia obovata (syn. hypoleuca)

A vigorous and most desirable medium sized tree for good soil. Exceptionally strongly fragrant creamy flowers with crimson stamens borne in May/June over huge obovate leaves, followed by big red fruit clusters. A wonderful tree that should be in every tree collection and/or reasonably sized garden. The scent drifts on the breeze for quite some distance. Best with a certain amount of shelter from SW winds in exposed gardens due to the large foliage.
