It is a large forest tree of the Eastern United States & Southern Ontario, Canada. It is a tree that tends to occur singly as scattered specimens, rather than in groves. The cucumber tree is native primarily within the Appalachian belt, including the Allegheny Plateau & Cumberland Plateau, up to western Pennsylvania & New York. There are also numerous disconnected outlying populations through much of the southeastern U.S., & a few small populations in Southern Ontario. in Canada, the cucumber tree is listed as an endangered species & is protected under the Canadian Species at Risk Act. in 1993 The North American Native Plant Society purchased Shining Tree Woods to preserve a stand of Magnolia acuminata, which is also known as "The Shining Tree". The leaves are deciduous simple & alternate, oval to oblong, 12?25 cm long & 6?12 cm wide, with smooth margins & downy on the underside. They come in two forms, acuminate at both ends, or moderately cordate at the base (these are usually only formed high in the tree).
