Magnolia Stellata ‘Royal Star’

A beautiful spring flowering, multi stemmed deciduous Magnolia that can reach 3 metres over 20 years. The buds are pink, opening to scented star-shaped flowers with multiple lax white petals.

A hardy rounded tree happy in any fertile and moist well drained soil but protected from the cold north winds.

N.B. When clipping several plants with the same tool, have a bucket containing a 5% bleach solution and swish your blades around for 30 seconds between plants to sterilise them. This will help avoid the chance of cross contamination of disease.

As with all woody plants, plant high, exposing as much of the taper at the base of the trunk as possible. Allowing soil to accumulate round the base of a tree can be fatal. Keep very well watered when first planted.
