There is a small magnolia tree right on the corner of Haro and Bidwell. There is about 4 magnolia trees lining the street. This one stands out because it is struggling to get bigger. It has huge flowers on it. It is my favourite tree in Van.

My favourite tree in Vancouver is located on the North West corner of Cardero St and Haro St in the West End. It is a young magnolia tree.. and it’s been a bit spindly the last few years.
I love this tree because it’s like the little engine that could. There are plenty of magnolia trees across the city that are spectacular in March with blooms adorning their large canopies. With this tree it’s obvious that it dedicates a lot of energy to produce its few dozen blooms, but it’s effort is well worth it! Each flower looks like it’s sitting on its own pedestal, and the shot of bright pink against the usually gray spring skies always makes me smile.
