Kobushi magnolia

Product information "Kobushi magnolia"

Magnolia kobus, known as the Kobushi magnolia, is a small, conical tree with a slow rate of growth. It reaches a height of about 8-10 m and a width of about 4-6 m. The pure white flowers appear in April before the foliage. Young trees do not flower; its full flowering potential starts after 15 years. The leaves have a fresh green colour; in autumn, they take on a yellow color and drop from the tree. The fruit of this magnolia grows in groups of small, red seeds and are attractive to birds. 
The Kobushi magnolia is closely related to the star magnolia (Magnolia stellata). It prefers full sun to partial shade, rich, well-drained soil, and is tolerant of acidic soils. Magnolias do not tolerate wet feet. Magnolia flower buds are susceptible to late-season frosts. Prune in late winter or late summer to prevent bleeding of sap; prune minimally to maintain a healthy shape.
