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 Spectrum has fewer but larger flowers than some of its Magnolia counterparts.The picture should tell you what colour the flowers are but For the ladies this could be described as Summer passion blush with a hint of Coral. For the blokes, it is dark pink (thanks to the woman in my life for pointing out what blush is!) 

Clay, loamy or sandy, this tree will tolerate nearly all soil conditions. Lava flows and chemical dumping grounds would probably cause it a problem before some one out there tries to prove a point.

It will not like getting its feet wet like most other Magnolias so make sure the soil has good drainage. Trying to fit "wellies" to the biggest roots will be a complete waste of time.

These are good low maintenance trees but pick a good spot for it as they are like your grumpy grand parents and not keen on change. Circumstances that is, not lower denominations of currency.

You should be looking at a mature height of around 13m but this is weather and site specific. Expect a 10 year height of around 4-6 m. Very low flying aircraft will also restrict height! 

The tree will be at least 2 years old when you receive it and will be between 1.25 and 2 metres tall in a 12 litre pot 

The tree is supplied with the rootball intact in compost which means you can plant these any time of the year. Great for the genocidal gardeners out there with fingers capable of sucking the life out of anything plant like as you only need to plant and water initially. Feeding and maintenance comes later but at least the tree has a fighting chance before then!

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.
