Magnolia Shortages
Without fail we sell out of Magnolia trees every year. So if you see a "delayed delivery" message in red in the product title then we are technically sold out. However, you can buy and reserve now for delivery in August which means you will receive pick of the crop from our Magnolia trees as the best trees are sent out first. It is a myth that Spring is the only time to plant trees, as ours are containerised so you can plant all year round.

For some unknown reason there has been a spike in Magnolia interest and it takes 2 years for us to grow the trees so there will be no immediate solution. 

Magnolia x Brooklynensis Yellow Bird Tree had deep yellow flowers with tinges of green on the outside. When closed they look like Tulips. These flowers last two to three weeks and arrive just as the leaves do. Perfect timing, just like your dodgy mate that always finds an excuse to leave when it is his round.

A small height tree, so expect a height of up to 4 metres (13 foot) after 10 years not growing much more than 5m at full maturity.

This tree is supplied at a height of between 1.25 and 2.0 metres in a 12 litre container for year round planting and better results than from bare-root stock, especially for those with "kiss of death" gardening fingers.  

Pruning Magnolias are a little like your in laws after a drink. You never really know how they are going to react. Keeping them well watered will ensure the best foliage but no need to seek counselling if you forget to water for a short period of time. Mulching will help.

Magnolias in general don't like being moved so pick a spot where it is unlikely to be moved.

Message card included at no additional cost if required. Just add the information required on the card at checkout.

General Magnolia Information

Magnolias are generally a low maintenance tree that can tolerate a small amount of drought but not wet for too long so make sure the soil has good drainage. Does not require a great deal of pruning but removing dead, diseased and crossed over branches is a good idea. Pick a good spot and do not move them as they may rebel against it by hiding the remote control or not being as vigorous as before. In summary they don't like to be moved/transplanted. 

I know we mentioned this several times already but we are very aware that our sales technique is that good that customers are convinced to buy before finishing reading our blurb and do not miss the blatantly obvious and then complain their Magnolia died when they planted it in the swimming pool.

All ornamental trees (not vines) are topped at 1.3 metres to encourage a natural ornamental tree shape with obvious exceptions e.g. patio sizes.This means that your tree was pruned during the growing process and then allowed to grow to the size it is now supplied at.
