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.
A named variety of magnolia stellata, Royal Star is a strikingly beautiful tree because of its enchanting, delicately fragranted, snow white flowers , which have a slight pink hue and resemble large daisies. This particular magnolia is a small tree, with a height of 3m (10ft), so is ideal for planting on the patio in either a large container or planted in a small garden. Its leaves are a mid to light green colour and the tree is distinguished by its silky-type buds which once open reveal the flowers. In common with some trees, its flowers open prior to leaf opening and remain on the tree for a few weeks.
Our Magnolia trees are supplied at a height of between 1.3m (4ft 4in) and 1.5m (5ft) in a 7 L container, which means that the tree has a well-established root system and can be planted any time of the year and with better results than either bare-root or rootballed trees.

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.
