10-15 Year Old Magnolia Stellata Rosea Trees for Instant Impact
Magnolias are an ancient genus of trees, fossilised remains of Magnolias have been found that are more than 100 million years old – they were around even before the bees appeared on our planet and their stunning blooms evolved for pollination by non-flying insects. Magnolias take between 8 -15 years from seed to flowering and they are renowned for their longevity. They are mainly deciduous shrubs or small trees and prefer full sun or partial shade in a neutral to acid soil and do best in a sheltered position.
