*Heights/volumes are very approximate due to differing suppliers, so only girth is guaranteed. Some trees over 5.5m may require specialist delivery but we will contact you if so.
For every girth measurement increment e.g. 6-8cm to 8-10cm, the canopy will be wider, stronger, bushier and the root system larger as it has experienced 12-18 months growth. As a guide, each one cm girth measurement represents around 30cm growth but this doesn't apply to slow-growing trees.
Multi-stem means several stems starting very low to the ground. Comparing these with the same age Standard and Half Standard, these are typically shorter as growing several stems takes more effort than one stem and the girth measuring system does not apply.
Standard and Half Standard means lollipop shape. Industry definitions (which are not universal) mean Half Standard have around 80-100cm clear stem and Standard 180cm or more. Half Standards will usually be quite smaller than their standard equivalent girth size.
Star Wars Magnolia
Star Wars (Magnolia 'Star Wars') is the result of the crossing of the magnolia varieties M. liliiflora x M. campbelli. It was first introduced in New Zealand. Star Wars is early to flower as a young tree, which makes it a popular choice. The lovely large rich pink flowers, white inside, appear for six weeks, generally from mid-March onwards.
A small height tree, so expect a height of up to 4 metres (13 foot) after 10 years.
Message card included at no additional cost if required. Just add the information required on the card at checkout.
See What Our Customers Are Saying About Our Star Wars Magnolia Tree
My Star Wars Magnolia tree arrived safe and sound and on time. Love your website - right up my alley. Love the product too, you clearly have style and substance. Would buy from you again if my garden wasn't already so very full. If something dies I will be in touch. ;-) All the best, Kate 1013
Ornamental Tree Roots In The Shade e.g. Behind A Fence
It is more important that that foliage (posh term for leaves) receives the sunlight than the roots. So if the canopy of your ornamental tree can sunbathe but the bottom of your tree thinks there has been a nuclear winter then that is ok. You might want to ensure you have good drainage as water and no sun is the start of algae and other such issues.

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy.
